Hi,

I tried to add a Windows server as the working node in aws according to rancher’s document, and although it was successful at first, but the node would hang after a while. At the beginning, the container run time is down, so PLEG had problems. Later, kubelet stopped Posting node status.

So I was wondering if anyone is using Windows node consistently? I don’t need this node as a production node, and I know that rancher’s Windows features are still experimental. I am using rancher 2.1.6 now.

Thanks a lot if any of you have an answer！😄😄
