Demo of Kubernetes on Windows Server

on YouTube ↗37m

" summary

Kubernetes runs Windows Server 2016 nodes by modifying kubelet and kube-proxy while leaving masters on Linux, demonstrated on a 5‑node Azure cluster (three nodes used). It uses the Docker API and Windows Server containers, relies on transparent network mode so each container gets a cluster-routable IP, and implements user-space proxying and portproxy/route hacks because Windows lacks iptables and native overlays. Deployed Redis + Guestbook and a BlogEngine .NET container, scales to 3 replicas, DNS over UDP and DNS search have known limitations; code lands in Kubernetes 1.5 alpha.
