PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8): 56 data bytes

```
7. Finally, tear down your test pod:
```console
$ kubectl delete -f pod.yaml
```
{{< /tab >}}
{{< tab name="Windows" >}}
### Windows
1. From the Docker Dashboard, navigate to **Settings**, and select the **Kubernetes** tab.
2. Select the checkbox labeled **Enable Kubernetes**, and select **Apply & Restart**. Docker Desktop automatically sets up Kubernetes for you. You'll know that Kubernetes has been successfully enabled when you see a green light beside 'Kubernetes _running_' in the **Settings** menu.
3. To confirm that Kubernetes is up and running, create a text file called `pod.yaml` with the following content:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: demo
spec:
containers:
- name: testpod
image: alpine:latest
command: ["ping", "8.8.8.8"]
```
This describes a pod with a single container, isolating a simple ping to 8.8.8.8.
4. In PowerShell, navigate to where you created `pod.yaml` and create your pod:
```console
$ kubectl apply -f pod.yaml
```
5. Check that your pod is up and running:
```console
$ kubectl get pods
```
You should see something like:
```shell
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
demo 1/1 Running 0 4s
```
6. Check that you get the logs you'd expect for a ping process:
```console
$ kubectl logs demo
```
You should see the output of a healthy ping process:
```shell
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: seq=0 ttl=37 time=21.393 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: seq=1 ttl=37 time=15.320 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: seq=2 ttl=37 time=11.111 ms
...
```
7. Finally, tear down your test pod:
```console
$ kubectl delete -f pod.yaml
```

## Enable Docker Swarm
Docker Desktop runs primarily on Docker Engine, which has everything you need to run a Swarm built in. Follow the setup and validation instructions appropriate for your operating system:
{{< tabs group="os" >}}
{{< tab name="Mac" >}}
### Mac
1. Open a terminal, and initialize Docker Swarm mode:
```console
$ docker swarm init
```
If all goes well, you should see a message similar to the following:
```shell
Swarm initialized: current node (tjjggogqpnpj2phbfbz8jd5oq) is now a manager.
To add a worker to this swarm, run the following command:
docker swarm join --token SWMTKN-1-3e0hh0jd5t4yjg209f4g5qpowbsczfahv2dea9a1ay2l8787cf-2h4ly330d0j917ocvzw30j5x9 192.168.65.3:2377
To add a manager to this swarm, run 'docker swarm join-token manager' and follow the instructions.
```
2. Run a simple Docker service that uses an alpine-based filesystem, and isolates a ping to 8.8.8.8:
```console
$ docker service create --name demo alpine:latest ping 8.8.8.8
```
3. Check that your service created one running container:
```console
$ docker service ps demo
```
You should see something like:
```shell
ID NAME IMAGE NODE DESIRED STATE CURRENT STATE ERROR PORTS
463j2s3y4b5o demo.1 alpine:latest docker-desktop Running Running 8 seconds ago
```
