= Connecting to a Windows virtual machine with an RDP console
88

9-
Create a Kubernetes `Service` object to connect to a Windows virtual machine (VM) by using your local Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client.
9+
The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) provides a better console experience for
10+
connecting to Windows virtual machines.
11+
12+
To connect to a Windows virtual machine with RDP, specify the IP address of the
13+
attached L2 NIC to your RDP client.
