Summary

Kubernetes, traditionally associated with Linux workloads, is now expanding to support Windows applications, addressing the needs of organizations running critical applications on Windows Server. Google Cloud has introduced Windows support for Kubernetes clusters, where Linux nodes handle essential cluster services, while Windows nodes are dedicated to running Windows applications. This integration allows users to leverage the standard Kubernetes API, ensuring compatibility with all Codefresh features without additional configuration. Setting up a Windows cluster on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) can be done through the Google Cloud console, and once connected to Codefresh, users can manage and deploy applications seamlessly. The process for deploying a Windows application on a Kubernetes cluster is similar to that of a Linux application, demonstrating the flexibility and power of Kubernetes' API.
