In this chapter, you have gone through the journey of creating an on-premises Windows/Linux Kubernetes cluster on a Hyper-V host. This approach is useful for creating local development clusters as well as deploying production clusters outside of cloud environments. Let's have a recap of the procedure—we first planned the cluster design and the network for the nodes, Pod, and Service classless inter-domain routings (CIDRs). Then, we have created the Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS VM—our Kubernetes master. Creating the master node required an initial configuration of the operating system and the installation of Docker. Initialization was performed using kubeadm. The next important step was the installation of the Kubernetes Pod network, which had to be compatible with both Linux and Windows nodes. In our case, we have chosen Flannel with a host-gw backend, which...

Overview of this book
With the adoption of Windows containers in Kubernetes, you can now fully leverage the flexibility and robustness of the Kubernetes container orchestration system in the Windows ecosystem. This support will enable you to create new Windows applications and migrate existing ones to the cloud-native stack with the same ease as for Linux-oriented cloud applications.
This practical guide takes you through the key concepts involved in packaging Windows-distributed applications into containers and orchestrating these using Kubernetes. You'll also understand the current limitations of Windows support in Kubernetes. As you advance, you'll gain hands-on experience deploying a fully functional hybrid Linux/Windows Kubernetes cluster for development, and explore production scenarios in on-premises and cloud environments, such as Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service.
By the end of this book, you'll be well-versed with containerization, microservices architecture, and the critical considerations for running Kubernetes in production environments successfully.
