Is there a possibility to have mixed windows and linux work nodes on Azure Service Fabric, or the cluster must be homogeneous?
No this is still not possible.
Was also asked before as well:
Service Fabric: Is it possible to run both Linux and Windows nodes

I have worked with minikube as a single node Kubernetes cluster on windows to learn it. Now, I need to figure if it is possible to create a multi-node Kubernetes cluster on windows using other Vms..
I need to figure also the best production scenario for windows( to automate the Vms creation, configuration ), as alternative like (vagrant / ansible) on Linux.
Yes, it's possible. Feel free to create several VMs manually in the tool of your choice and network them together.
Vagrant and Ansible (Pull) work fine on Windows as well, where Ansible runs in the guest OS.
Or you can run Ansible and/or Docker from WSL.
FWIW, other than for learning purposes, there is little benefit of simulating a cluster of Kubernetes/Openshift or similar platform on all single machine. The same resources should work whether you have one node or many
I have tried creating Kubernetes cluster but all the nodes are linux based OS(Container-Optimized OS (cos) (default) and Ubuntu). I have windows based image stored on docker Hub I need to deploy this app to kubernetes cluster. I am using https://console.cloud.google.com/kubernetes/ to create cluster.
While creating nodes, in setting there are only two options: Container-Optimized OS (cos) (default) and Ubuntu.
Windows is not supported by Google Kubernetes. There is a feature request that you can track: Feature request : Support for Windows Server Containers in GKE
You can launch your own Google Compute VM and run Windows containers. This article provides more information.
I don't think you can run Windows nodes in GKE, even though Kubernetes itself supports Windows nodes (https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/windows/).
In my opinion, the other options you have are:
Run an on-prem Kubernetes cluster with your Windows licenses (the control plane would still run with Linux, only the nodes would be Windows based)
Use GCE instead of GKE to run your containers: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/containers/ and https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/gcp/how-to-run-windows-containers-on-compute-engine
Hope that helps!
I have MiniKube running on my Windows 10 machine. I would like to add an additional node to the cluster.
I have a Centos VM running on a different host that has k8s installed. How to I get the kubectrl join command to run on the VM from the master node running on my Windows machine?
Do I need to install an overlay network on the MiniKube VM? Or is one already installed?
Minikube is officially single-node at the moment. There's a discussion about this limitation at https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/94 But it seems people have found ways to do it with VirtualBox and there are other ways to run a multi-node cluster locally. Otherwise I'd suggest creating a cluster with one of the cloud providers (e.g. GKE).
Is it possible to run both Linux and Windows nodes within the same cluster on Azure Service Fabric?
No, that is currently not possible.
I have installed a Service Fabric unsecured development cluster on a shared, on-premises VM with firewall turned off. I can connect to it locally (on same VM) via PowerShell, and deploy locally via Visual Studio. However I am unable to connect or deploy to the cluster from any other box on our network, getting the following error message from PowerShell:
Connect-ServiceFabricCluster : No cluster endpoint is reachable, please check if there is connectivity/firewall/DNS issue.
As I said, the firewall is turned off on the machine hosting the cluster. What am I doing wrong?
OneBox deployment of Service Fabric (installed via the SDK) does not support remote publishing.
