[tabern]

Amazon EKS now supports Windows containers and Windows worker nodes as a public preview.

Please leave feedback and comments on the preview using this ticket.

I believe that this line is causing this error:

https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/blob/master/preview-programs/eks-windows-preview/amazon-eks-cfn-quickstart-windows.yaml#L194

EKSWindowsWorkerStack | TemplateURL must be an Amazon S3 URL.

From running ECS windows nodes, I believe that the default NodeVolumeSize should be 200gig

https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/blob/master/preview-programs/eks-windows-preview/amazon-eks-windows-nodegroup.yaml#L127

NodeVolumeSize:
    Type: Number
    Description: Node volume size
    Default: 200

Apparently not a restriction applied to AWSers @JasonChinsen 😄

@JasonChinsen are you referring to Step 2?

You cannot launch a CFN template using a URL that is not in S3, but you can upload a YAML! We recommend you download the file and upload it when you create your stack.

[JasonChinsen]

@tabern yes, I was following the instructions as is. I have uploaded the file to s3 now and are running into other issues. I will keep you posted.

I am very excited to see this work btw.

Ok, great! Just let us know... 👍
