Hi,

Can we add windows node on Kubernetes cluster to deploy Windows based application on Google cloud platform?

Thanks

+1, this would be a killer feature I think a lot of people hold back on kubernetes because of this, with Knative and all and Docker on Windows this would be very nice.

To provide an additional use-case. Ideally it would be possible to have a cluster with multiple managed nodes. Both Windows and Linux instances that can handle linux containers and WS Containers. Scheduling could happen using (platform) labels.

Everything will be unicorns and rainbows.

This missing feature is severely hampering our efforts to sell our effort to containerize and cloud-host one of our .NET Framework apps, because it's running on a Windows OS (too large and windows-dependent to convert to .NET Core right now). The prospect of having to spin up a dedicated VM for each container image and manage them is making people ask "why even bother? Now GCP is just a more expensive datacenter..."

K8s 1.14 has moved windows support from beta to production ready...

Thank you for filing the request!

We plan to launch an Early Access Program (EAP) for Windows Server Container support on GKE in 2019. You can sign up for the program now if you're interested:

Please keep in mind that we have limited capacity for EAP, so signing up does not guarantee you access to the program. Please stay tuned for more update!
