// Self-sign the powershell script

// Copy below code into powershell script says 'runAsAdmin.ps1' file and self-signed-it as mentioned above and run it.

// Set the execution policy to RemoteSigned as 'Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned' for above demo purpose
// by opening PowerShell in Admin mode
// From Minishift context it is being taken care from below line, and no system policy is getting changed.
// Revert above by 'Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Restricted'
