Dynamically scaling out Windows pods

This is a topic that I love, especially to get people to think about scaling out Windows pods. Container workloads and/or cloud-native applications are designed by default with the premise to scale as needed, which results in preparing the entire platform, such as container orchestrators, to support these demands.

My question for you is simple. Does the Windows application you plan to run on top of a container need to scale out? I bet if it is a 5- or 10-year-old application running on-premises, it doesn’t currently have any scale-out mechanism, and the application wasn’t designed to support that. So why should you care about it if your application doesn’t leverage this benefit?

Sometimes, we overthink technical requirements and assume premises that aren’t necessary, and all this is because people keep comparing Windows and Linux containers. Now, assuming that you will dynamically scale out with Windows pods, at...
