Prerequisites for Windows

You must have the following setup on your PC:

Podman
Minikube
Git

This requires a minimum of:

2 physical CPU cores
6 GB of free memory

For the MeshNetwork (Istio) Lab you need a minimum of:

4 physical CPU cores
9 GB of free memory

If Minikube is not an option you can use OpenShift Local or any other Kubernetes solution (but this is untested and you're on your own).
