    You're trading one convenience for a world of hurt if you use Kubernetes with Windows. Just take a casual glance at the "Windows containers" issues list on GitHub: https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-Containers/issues

    Some of the very recently closed issues were jaw-dropping, such as totally broken networking in common scenarios.

    DNS resolution is very different in Windows compared to Linux, making much of the "neatness" of Kubernetes pod-to-pod communication not work.

    There is no maximum memory limit in Windows kernel "job objects" (equivalent to cgroups), so one memory leak in one pod can kill an entire node or cluster. This is very hard to solve, and I've seen it take out Service Fabric clusters also.

    Etc, etc...
