Introduction to Windows Containers in Kubernetes

on YouTube ↗35m

" summary

SIG-Windows reports that Windows container support is stable in 1.14 with milestones since: CSI support in 1.16, kubeadm-based Windows node join scripts, and upcoming CRI containerd for Hyper‑V isolation. Practical bits covered: a GMSA credential spec exposed as a CRD to carry AD identities, a separate CSI proxy binary to enable CSI node plugins on Windows, node constraints (Windows nodes run only Windows containers), required host/container major‑version match, and measurable startup and resource tradeoffs for Hyper‑V vs shared‑kernel containers.
