-# kube-startup.ps1 is used to run kubelet and kubeproxy as a process. It uses nssm (https://nssm.cc/) process manager to register kubelet and kube-proxy process,
-# The processes can be viewed using TaskManager(Taskmgr.exe).
-# Please note that this startup script does not start the API server. Kubernetes control plane currently runs on Linux
-# and only Kubelet and Kube-Proxy can be run on Windows
