A cluster administrator can create a RuntimeClass object which is used to encapsulate these taints and tolerations.\n\nSave this file to runtimeClasses.yml. It includes the appropriate nodeSelector for the Windows OS, architecture, and version.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```yaml\n   ---\n   apiVersion: node.k8s.io/v1\n   kind: RuntimeClass\n   metadata:\n     name: windows-2019\n   handler: example-container-runtime-handler\n   scheduling:\n     nodeSelector:\n       kubernetes.io/os: 'windows'\n       kubernetes.io/arch: 'amd64'\n       node.kubernetes.io/windows-build: '10.0.20348'\n     tolerations:\n     - effect: NoSchedule\n       key: os\n       operator: Equal\n       value: \"windows\"\n```\n\nRun kubectl create -f runtimeClasses.yml using as a cluster administrator Add runtimeClassName: windows-2019 as appropriate to Pod specs\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```yaml\n   ---\n   apiVersion: apps/v1\n   kind: Deployment\n   metadata:\n     name: iis-2019\n     labels:\n       app: iis-2019\n   spec:\n     replicas: 1\n     template:\n       metadata:\n         name: iis-2019\n         labels:\n           app: iis-2019\n       spec:\n         runtimeClassName: windows-2019\n         containers:\n         - name: iis\n           image: mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore/iis:windowsservercore-ltsc2019\n           resources:\n             limits:\n               cpu: 1\n               memory: 800Mi\n             requests:\n               cpu: .1\n               memory: 300Mi\n           ports:\n             - containerPort: 80\n    selector:\n       matchLabels:\n         app: iis-2019\n   ---\n   apiVersion: v1\n   kind: Service\n   metadata:\n     name: iis\n   spec:\n     type: LoadBalancer\n     ports:\n     - protocol: TCP\n       port: 80\n     selector:\n       app: iis-2019\n```\n\n[RuntimeClass]: /docs/concepts/containers/runtime-class/\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
