x/build: Windows Nano Server builders? #15287

Open bradfitz opened 8 years ago

bradfitz commented 8 years ago

Per #15286, I guess we'll need Windows Nano Server builders at some point.

How? GCE? Azure?

Can Microsoft run them for us? Or give us Azure credit?

/cc @jstarks

jstarks commented 8 years ago

I've sent out some requests internally.

bradfitz commented 8 years ago

Thanks.

jstarks commented 8 years ago

Still working on this...

bradfitz commented 8 years ago

Any update, @jstarks?

bradfitz commented 8 years ago

Ping, @jstarks. Is this available for purchase yet? Or can we run it on Azure?

Supposedly GCE is working on Nano Server support as well: https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2015/07/Bringing-Windows-to-Google-Cloud-Platform.html

I have a contact at Google who can help me with Windows VM things on GCE now.

johnsonj commented 7 years ago

We can run Server 2016 VMs on GCE which can run the nano server container.

bradfitz commented 7 years ago

@johnsonj, any interest in / time for setting up a Server 2016 VM base image for us?

We currently only have 2008, using the following setup instructions: https://github.com/golang/build/tree/master/env/windows

johnsonj commented 7 years ago

Yeah! But I really want to make a terraform to do the manual steps. I can timebox that this week and if that doesn't pan out build the image by hand by the start of next week.

That would be awesome. Windows is Go's only builder type set up by hand.
