@rkruze I know you're working on this, so I'm creating this issue to track it :smile:

JIRA Link: CORE-577

FWIW you will want an install page for Windows similar to "https://vectorized.io/docs/quick-start-linux"

Note you can use MicroK8s to install a dev Kube on most platforms. On Windows, you also have Native Windows Containers to consider which can run simultaneously to Linux Containers.

But of course just getting a nice operation of RedPanda on the Windows Command Line is a good start.

What caught my eye with RedPanda was the possibility of assembling items similar to the Kafka ecosystem without taking a JVM hit, but XPLAT is important and the the lack of Windows EXE makes RedPanda a non-starter until that is fixed.

I think this support is intended for topic creation and the like.

I've heard it's possible to install the redpanda deb on Ubuntu on WSL2 if you add systemd support: https://github.com/DamionGans/ubuntu-wsl2-systemd-script - but that's very much unsupported for now.
