03/01/2023, 5:16 PMdepends on the application needs

brainy-tomato-18651
03/01/2023, 5:17 PMYou mean you have applications that only are able to run on Windows Servers? and not Linux/Ubuntu?

03/01/2023, 5:24 PMi want to add windows worker node now

brainy-tomato-18651
03/01/2023, 5:26 PMOk so, you can do it. You just need to build your EC2 template with Windows Server and when you add some new pool node you should pick de AMI ID

03/01/2023, 5:27 PMEC2 Template = AMI template

little-art-55288

brainy-tomato-18651

little-art-55288

03/01/2023, 6:09 PMhhmm..so according to the Rancher documentation, the only way to create a Kubernetes cluster with both Windows Server and Ubuntu nodes is to create a separate Kubernetes cluster for the Windows Server nodes and then set up a separate cluster for the Ubuntu nodes. Detailed information on how to create heterogeneous Kubernetes clusters with Rancher can be found at this link:

03/01/2023, 8:02 PMyou can have 1 custom cluster with both linux and windows worker nodes mixed.
little-art-55288
03/01/2023, 8:03 PMit is already tested and working.
little-art-55288
03/01/2023, 8:03 PMbut i don't want to create new clusters to have windows worker nodes
little-art-55288
03/01/2023, 8:04 PMi already have some ec2 provider clusters, and i want to add windows worker node in them. Is there a way to do it?
little-art-55288
03/01/2023, 8:05 PMDo we have anyone from rancher team to confirm if it is officially supported by rancher?
