Kubernetes is Available in Docker for Mac 17.12 CE

Kubernetes is only available in Docker for Mac 17.12 CE and higher on the Edge channel. Kubernetes support is not included in Docker for Mac Stable releases. To find out more about Stable and Edge channels and how to switch between them, see general configuration.

Docker for Mac 17.12 CE (and higher) Edge includes a standalone Kubernetes server that runs on Mac, so that you can test deploying your Docker workloads on Kubernetes.

The Kubernetes client command, kubectl, is included and configured to connect to the local Kubernetes server. If you have kubectl already installed and pointing to some other environment, such as minikube or a GKE cluster, be sure to change the context so that kubectl is pointing to docker-for-desktop. Read more on Docker.com.

I recommend to setup your shell to see which KUBECONFIG is active.
