Running Argo jobs on Windows nodes

Which service(s) is this request for?
EKS

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?

When trying to run ARGO jobs on Windows nodes I get the following error:

MountVolume.SetUp failed for volume "docker-sock" : hostPath type check failed: /var/run/docker.sock is not a socket file

There is a bug report in the argoproj 826 that looks like it was fixed in the Kubernetes project for Azure

Are you currently working around this issue?
N/A

In Windows, the Docker API is typically accessed through a named pipe "npipe:////./pipe/docker_engine" that can be volume-mounted from host to container, but may only be fixed in a later version (1.14?) of k8s https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/67147

@kernelcoredump Thanks for pointing this out, good find!. It looks like that ticket ref's 69484 ... It is included in 1.13 https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG-1.13.md (I did a quick find in the changelogs since 1.11). Now we wait for 1.13.x EKS :D and windows AMI's
