<p>I installed my existing Kubernetes Cluster (1.8) running in AWS using KOPS.</p>

<p>I would like to add Windows Container to the existing cluster but I can not find the right solution! :(</p>

<p>I thought of following these given steps given in:</p>

<p><a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/windows/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/windows/</a></p>

<p>I downloaded the node binaries and copied it to my Windows machine (Kubelet, Kube-dns, kube-proxy, kubectl) but I got a little confused about the multiple networking options.</p>

<p>They have also given the kubeadmin option to join the node to my Master, which I have no idea why since I used Kops to create my cluster.</p>

<p>Can someone advise or help me on how I can get my windows node added?</p>

<p>KOPS is really good if the default architecture satisfies your requirements, if you need to make some changes it will give you some trouble. For example I needed to add a GPU Node, I was able to add it, but unable to make this process automatic, being unable to create an auto scaling group. </p>

<p>Kops has a lot of pros, like creating all the cluster in a transparent way. </p>

<p>Do you really need a windows node? </p>

<p>If yes, try to launch a cluster using kube-adm, then joining the windows node to this cluster.</p>

<p>Kops will take some time to add this windows nodes feature.    </p>
