compatibility with windows

[daksha25]

hi,
Will it work if want to set up windows cluster?

[rhockenbury]

No. I would suggest looking at https://github.com/pablodav/kubernetes-for-windows-quickstart for running hybrid clusters.

@pablodav what's missing to merge your windows fork?

[pablodav]

There is still missing a stable flanned version working.

Then I will start working on more tests / stabilization of the playbooks.
I'm would love to have automated tests here, but I don't have enough free time to work on it myself.

Then I will start working on kubespraynation of them.... :)

[rhockenbury]

For what it's worth, flannel has been much more stable on windows server 2019.

Also, would be interested in hearing about the general strategy for porting windows support into kubespray. For instance, would the initial integration be done through a seperate windows role, or would the windows support need to be integrated into each role for the seperate components?

I would imagine the place to start is updating the kubespray test cases to work on hybrid clusters, and then getting support integrated into the CI harness. Looks to me like adding a new test file, and then updates for generating the inventory file with a seperate host group for windows nodes. @ant31 Any first impressions on level of effort, or recommended starting approaches?

I have noticed there is also #2889 disussing similar things or same things.
