Deep Dive of Windows Containers on Kubernetes
summary
Status update: Kubernetes supports Windows nodes up through v1.13 with Windows Server 2016/2019 images but clusters still require a Linux control plane and node OS must match container base image, or containers fail. Networking uses CNI plugins (Flannel, Open vSwitch) with kube-proxy limits and no localTrafficPolicy on Windows; storage is limited while CSI is beta for Windows. Isolation modes include process and Hyper-V single-pod isolation; containerd as a CRI runtime is in alpha.
