Using the rendered envoy manifests, I successfully ran a locally load balanced api endpoint on Windows. This would make HA work correctly in typical environments for Windows workers.
Describe the solution you would like
This proof of concept worked on my machines:
using busybox64.exe
# install crane
wget https://github.com/google/go-containerregistry/releases/download/v0.13.0/go-containerregistry_Windows_x86_64.tar.gz
tar xvf go-containerregistry_Windows_x86_64.tar.gz
# get the envoy binary from the docker images, because envoy doesn't distribute them separately
mkdir container/
./crane export --platform windows/amd64 docker.io/envoyproxy/envoy-windows-ltsc2022:v1.25.2 container/envoy-windows.tar
# install envoy
tar xvf container/envoy-windows.tar -c container/
mkdir -pv "C:/Program Files/envoy/"
mkdir -pv "C:/etc/envoy"
cp envoy.yaml C:/etc/envoy/envoy.yaml
cp cds.yaml C:/etc/envoy/cds.yaml
cp "container/Files/Program Files/envoy/envoy.exe" "C:/Program Files/envoy/envoy.exe"
mkdir -pv C:/var/log/envoy
# install nssm. simplest way is choco
choco install -y nssm
nssm install envoy "C:/Program Files/envoy/envoy.exe" "-c C:/etc/envoy/envoy.yaml"
nssm set envoy AppStdout "C:/var/log/envoy/envoy.log"
nssm set envoy AppStderr "C:/var/log/envoy/envoy.err.log"
nssm set envoy AppStdoutCreationDisposition 4
nssm set envoy AppStderrCreationDisposition 4
nssm set envoy AppRotateFiles 1
nssm set envoy AppRotateOnline 1
nssm set envoy AppRotateSeconds 0
nssm set envoy AppRotateBytes 1000000
nssm set envoy AppExit Default Restart
nssm set envoy AppRestartDelay 3
nssm set envoy Start SERVICE_AUTO_START
nssm start envoyThe rendered envoy.yaml and cds.yaml are unchanged compared to the Linux versions.
To join correctly, I intercept the bootstrap token, modify the bootstrap kubeconfig to point at https://localhost:7443, and resume the joining phase. I do not use k0s windows worker command because I prefer containerd, so I bootstrap and approve the CSR myself.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Proper load balancing.
