Kubernetes reinvented virtual machines in a good sense

Thanks for sharing, it all seems terrifying but still very interesting to explore. I was curious how the Windows nodes would even join - turns out they support cloud-init just like Linux machines.

In theory this means they could be managed then by something like KubeVirt instead of treating them like a worker node. https://kubevirt.io/user-guide/virtual_machines/startup_scri...

Excited to see this space continue to evolve for sure.

Cloudbase-init is interesting, but Microsoft doesn't support or (apparently) use it. There's no mention of it in their docs: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Adocs.microsoft.com+%2...

New Windows VMs are generally built using PowerShell DSC or a similar native tool.
