Windows Application setup - using chocolatey

Today I am using https://chocolatey.org/ to install the basic every day apps I use on my windows devops desktop

Chocolatey is a package manager for windows, that works in the same fashion as brew does for MacOS. It is a pretty lightweight set of powershell commands and uses pre-compiled packages for Windows. It also works for older versions of windows, so if you are hanging onto that Windows 7 installation, this should help.



The apps i am installing are:
Visual Studio Code - https://code.visualstudio.com/
Git - https://git-scm.com/
Terraform - https://terraform.io/

AWS Command Line - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-install.html
Python - https://www.python.org/
Docker Desktop - https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop

Kubernetes - https://kubernetes.io/
minikube - https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-minikube/
Google Chrome - https://www.google.com/chrome/


Using Chocolatey allows you to install the apps from just the powershell prompt and makes it a bit simpler to use.

You can also stack the apps instead of installing one by one,


`choco install git python awscli`



This is a huge time saver as well since it goes directly from one app to the next.
