I think you'll have much better luck with this video if you rename it to "Install and run AZURE Kubernetes"

@Thomas_Maurer Is this still a viable solution for running AKS on-premises? I had heard that HCI is dying. Wondering if the WinSvr approach is also floundering? I have tried testing this with a nested virtualisation on Azure VM but running aground with networking during the management cluster setup.

Hi, can we install Windows Admin Center in offline windows 2019 machine where there is no internet? Also what should be the minimum machine configuration?

If you want to have a play with this, is it possible to install AKS on a Windows 11 Pro?
