Having trouble running your Windows clusters at scale? We’re here to help! Nowadays cost reduction is at the forefront of everyone’s minds, and we want to help you do more in your Windows clusters with minimal excess resource utilization and optimal reliability. Join us in a deep dive where we address the most common problems facing Windows clusters today and how you can work proactively to get the most out of your deployment. In this session we’ll introduce a new open-source tool for you to run on Windows nodes which monitors known performance and reliability problems, issues alerts, and helps you take proactive action to achieve a high degree of cluster performance and reliability needed to maintain customer SLAs. We’ll then dive into installing the windows-exporter via HostProcess containers and explain the best practices in monitoring Windows via Prometheus. Finally, we’ll walk through how Windows behaves under common workload scenarios and explain how to avoid any common pitfalls. Kubernetes is difficult enough to get working for new applications, let alone for anything legacy. Join us in sharing the journeys of other community members to help you learn and get up and running in no time.
