Has anyone successfully added a Windows node to a self-hosted Kubernetes setup?
Asked by

I attempted to set up a Windows Server 2022 VM in Proxmox to function as a Windows node in my Kubernetes cluster, but I'm facing various issues. I'm particularly interested in deploying apps as Windows containers within Kubernetes and would appreciate any guidance or shared experiences on this.

From my experience, it works fine! Just make sure your setup meets all the Windows requirements. Sometimes it can be a bit finicky, but overall it should play nice with Kubernetes.

Honestly, you might want to reconsider the need for Windows altogether. Most setups can run just fine without relying on Windows, so if you can, eliminate that requirement and save yourself some headaches!

I did this at work with RKE2 and Calico CNI, and it worked pretty well for us. Just keep in mind that sometimes you might need to run commands to reset the network stack on Windows if things go awry.
