The status of K8s on Azure is being updated here - https://github.com/colemickens/azure-kubernetes-status

Cole has been an absolute machine working on this - we'd love your help! Net, though, is that extending Kubernetes in this way is available to everyone - we support ~15 different cloud and OS configurations today, we'd love to support more!

Disclosure: I work at Google on Kubernetes.

Nice! I'll follow it and try to help as I can.

There's a working implementation here. I'm wrapping up cleanup + some unit tests before sending the PR. https://github.com/colemickens/kubernetes/tree/azure-cloudpr...

Not that it's very exciting to anyone who is familiar with Services + Pod networking, but there's a video demo: https://asciinema.org/a/48294

w00t!!!

Why would I want to take my perfectly nice VMs and run them on a windows server?

Not sure if you are serious, but while Azure is from Microsoft, it is definitely not Windows only. In fact, most of the products coming out of the "new" Microsoft pipeline aren't in any way tied to Windows.

Kudos to them, and awesome to see people working to get Kubernetes to work on Azure.
