<p><strong>What I try to do:</strong>
EKS with both Linux and Windows (2019) nodes, nginx pod on Linux should access IIS pod on Windows.</p>

<p><strong>The issue:</strong>
The Windows pods don't start.</p>

<p><strong>Log:</strong></p>

<p>Additionally to this pod I have an nginx pod running on linux nodes, that pod is load-balanced using aws-alb-ingress-controller.</p>

Johnathan Kanarek
<p>Solved.
Apparently the vpc admission webhook was defined on the default namespace while my deployment of windows pods was on a different namespace.</p>
