Description

Microsoft, in collaboration with Docker, is introducing a new feature called Windows Server Containers, which enables Docker containers to run on Windows. SIG-Windows would like to enhance Kubernetes to support Windows Server Containers (and Windows Server 2016 as the operating system of choice for the windows-based kubelet). With this feature, customers will be able to run Windows-based and .NET-based applications inside containers on Kubernetes. Kubernetes will be the first fully functional cross-platform cluster manager.

Feature Description

  • One-line feature description (can be used as a release note): Support for Windows Server Containers
  • Primary contact (assignee): @michmike
  • Responsible SIGs: sig-windows
  • Kubernetes Enhancement Proposal (KEP): Create KEP for Windows Node Support #676
  • Reviewer(s) - (for LGTM) recommend having 2+ reviewers (at least one from code-area OWNERS file) agreed to review. Reviewers from multiple companies preferred: @brendandburns, @JiangtianLi, @alinbalutoiu
  • Approver (likely from SIG/area to which feature belongs): @michmike
  • Feature target (which target equals to which milestone):
    • Beta release target 1.9
    • GA release target 1.14

SIG-Windows approved GA release criteria: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YkLZIYYLMQhxdI2esN5PuTkhQHhO0joNvnbHpW68yg8/edit (old)

@michmike looking at that tracking board is everything in the 1.14 release blocking column what should be merged by code freeze? it looks like if I'm interpreting that correctly that is 9 open PRs in K/K that need to be merged by Friday?

@claurence that is correct. it is going to be a tight squeeze. a few of those PRs are ready to be merged today already.
