Windows Server 2016 introduced support for Docker containers, so the next logical step was to have Kubernetes running on Windows! The #sig-windows team did a great job in overcoming portability and other issues, with the ultimate result of having a fully functional Windows Kubelet. The networking stack in particular proved to be tricky, but enter Open vSwitch and OVN to save the day and allow cross-platform networking across Linux and Windows nodes with heterogeneous deployments. The result? Think about containerized ASP.NET Windows applications talking to databases or other services running on Linux pods, all orchestrated by Kubernetes! During this session we will show how this whole deployment works on premise and on public clouds, with plenty of demos!
