Using WSL 2 on Windows Server 2022 to run Linux containers
Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2) is one of the most popular features for developers on Windows 10 and 11. It has recently been made available on Windows Server 2022. With this addition, you can now run Linux containers on WSL 2 on Windows Server 2022 for development and testing purposes.Windows Server Summit Wrap Up
I was truly blown away by the content and collaboration for this event. This community is truly AMAZING, we had MVPs, Intel, Product Managers and Engineers all share their knowledge and experience. Here I am sharing the big take-aways and links to drill down into the specific subject at handNew Storage and Networking MS Learn modules for Windows containers on AKS
We are excited to announce the release of two new Microsoft Learn modules that will help you understand how to configure storage and networking for Windows containers on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). These modules are part of the "Deploy, manage, and monitor Windows containers on Azure Kubernetes Service" learning path and cover the following topics:Firewall considerations for gMSA on Azure Kubernetes Service
This week I spent some time helping a customer with a gMSA environment on which they were finding some issues in deploying their app. The issues started when they were trying to figure out why the Kerberos ticket was not being issues for the Window pod with gMSA configured in AKS. I decided to write this blog post to list some of the firewall considerations for different scenarios on which security rules might block the authentication process.Announcing the availability of the new gMSA on AKS workshop
gMSA is the technology behind the support for Active Directory dependent applications to run on Kubernetes. Over time, we’ve been adding a lot of resources around it, such as PowerShell modules (to help with the configuration process), documentation, scripts, and more. The reason behind this is that on one side, gMSA is incredibly popular (of course, anyone trying to containerize a Windows app that relies on AD for authentication will use it), but also because it is somewhat complex to configure it. Setting up gMSA means you have to configure your Kubernetes cluster, the networking between the cluster and Domain Controller(s), the secret store (such as Azure Key Vault), the Domain Controller itself, and so on…
