ACS或AKS Hybrid Kubernetes集群：AKS现是否支持混合Windows/Linux节点？

Great question! Let's unpack this based on the timeline you're referencing—3 months after late 2017, so we're talking early 2018 here:

• As of early 2018, AKS still did not officially support hybrid Windows and Linux node pools in a single cluster. Back then, Azure Container Service (ACS) was the go-to option for running mixed-OS Kubernetes clusters, just like those blog posts you mentioned outlined.
• The AKS team had been signaling that hybrid cluster support was on their roadmap, but it hadn't reached general availability (GA) by early 2018. Official support for Windows node pools in AKS wouldn't roll out until later that year, which finally let users create AKS clusters with both Linux and Windows worker nodes to run mixed workloads.
• If you were working in early 2018 and needed a hybrid cluster, you'd have to stick with ACS or set up a self-managed Kubernetes cluster on Azure. Once the Windows node pool feature launched for AKS, you could then transition to using AKS for your mixed-OS workloads with full official backing.
