Rancher is a container management plattform and allows creating Kubernetes Clusters with Windows support through executing a single command on each node you want to add to your Kubernetes cluster. Microsoft as one of them announced the general availability of Windows containers for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) in April 2020.īut what if you don’t want to or can’t use a managed Kubernetes service but still would like to try out Windows support in Kubernetes? Although Kubernetes provides a documentation on how to add Windows nodes to your existing cluster, the setup is rather complex and contains a lot of manual steps.
All managed Kubernetes services of the major cloud providers support Windows containers.
Kubernetes supports Windows since v1.14 and with the latest releases the support got even better.
