That said I just want to clarify, that this with AKS on HCI and AKS on Windows Server allows you to run Linux AND Windows containers, not just Windows Containers.

As you say, there may well be “many” other ways to run k8s, but I suspect lots of your readers would love to hear more about them (and I mean for running Linux containers rather than Windows ones). And I mean and especially if they may be running other than Windows Server 2022, or maybe can’t run hyper-v (or may well be running as a VM guest already), and so on.

They may find it so easy to run Docker Desktop on their workstations/laptops, only to find it quite difficult to run those same containers, compose files, or k8s manifests in the on-prem or hosted Windows servers they may deploy all their other work to. (They may not want to move those to a SaaS or other platform.)

Such folks would seem especially drawn to a post with a title like this, and so would be encouraged to hear of paths successfully traveled by others. :-)
