Infrastructure as code is an important methodology for ensuring that your distributed systems are treated as cattle and not pets. Your Kubernetes and Rancher clusters are no different. You should be able to provision your Rancher clusters, your Kubernetes clusters, and all of your apps with automation.
Today we are announcing the support for Windows containers with Kubernetes 1.14 in Preview mode. As many users may know, Rancher 2.1.0 supported Windows containers in experimental mode. Now that SIG Windows and Microsoft have announced the general availability of containers in Windows Server 2019 with Kubernetes 1.14, we have upgraded Rancher to both support the latest version of Windows containers (and Kubernetes) and after the preview is over, make it generally available.
