Known issues
Runtime
- When disk space begins to run out, precached images may be removed by kubelet/containerd, causing Kubernetes to fail
Update
- OS upgrade (Windows 10 to Windows 11) will result in AKS Edge Essentials failing to work properly
Deployment
- Deploying a K8s Linux node on a 4GB RAM host machine fails
- New deployment fails when the execution policy is set to AllSigned (
Set-ExecutionPolicy –ExecutionPolicy AllSigned
) - Uninstalling and reinstalling k8s/k3s causes a “deployment already exists” error when creating a new deployment, so a restart is necessary
- Event logging fails when uninstalling and reinstalling an MSI without a reboot in between
- When a deployment fails due to lack of memory/disk space, it creates an incomplete VHDX file that causes errors in later deployments
Windows nodes
- On a K3s Windows node, load balancer klipper-lb pulls images from the internet when connected
- Adding a Windows node takes around ~10 minutes to complete
- K3s Windows node with Calico as the CNI is not yet supported
- No storage provisioner is available for the Windows node
- NFS subdir external provisioner pod fails on Windows nodes
- GitOps steps provided in the documentation are not compatible with Windows nodes
