Hyper-V and Windows Kubernetes

This article will demonstrate how I can install local Windows Kubernetes with Hyper-V on my MacBook Pro. I’ll show you step by step.

Starting with Kubernetes 1.14, Windows worker node support has come to general availability. But despite this, lots of improvements were added to make less gap between Linux Kubernetes worker node.

IMHO, there are two significant problems to solve before using Windows Kubernetes in production environments.

• Both of Windows container and Windows Kubernetes are depending on network feature which provided by Host Network Service (a.k.a. HNS). When the Kubernetes cluster created a new service, the Windows worker node can route the traffic to service via its local load balancer, and each service consumes an ephemeral port. Inevitably, all ephemeral ports will be exhausted in the end. This behavior will lead to blocking further connections to use.
• Windows container does not support elevated mode, so the administrator should install kube-proxy into the worker node directly, not the container form. Also, you should configure all of the network parameters correctly. This kind of work makes it extremely difficult to manage, and every time you want to upgrade the Kubernetes worker node manually.

Finally, Kubernetes 1.19 resolves these two problems. Thanks to this, make the local installation of Windows Kubernetes just got more comfortable than before.
