not really a question, I've done everything that seems to be required and it just doesn't work (for me). So looking for success stories 😄

I'm running server 2019. It appears k8s 1.23 requires containerd 1.6+ for the feature to work (I find this out after an attempt), so then I went with the rc1 of 1.24 but that didn't seems to work either.

my initial attempt was with
latest
which shows this atm
Copy code
rke2-test-01      Ready      control-plane,etcd,master   2d22h   v1.23.6+rke2r2   172.29.2.41     <none>        Ubuntu 22.04 LTS               5.15.0-30-generic   <containerd://1.5.11-k3s2>
cause it was only bumped 11 days ago

I then tried to bump the windows node and had this..
Copy code
rke2-test-04      NotReady   <none>                      2d22h   v1.24.0          172.29.2.44     <none>        Windows Server 2019 Standard   10.0.17763.2928     <containerd://1.6.4>
but that didn't work either...so here I am looking for any successes 😄
I'm the author of a bunch of
csi
drivers and I've implemented windows support so now I'm just trying to test the 'last mile' in an actual cluster

The 1.24-rc1 for rke2 has issues with calico on windows that we are investigating actively. I would not expect it to be functional right now

I don't think that's my issue. We dug in pretty deep and are going to pull some ms folks into the discussion to see if we can't get host process containers working.
On a separate note I can't get the rc to fire up on the control plane…etcd won't start for some reason it seems.
