Streamline Linux and Windows Nodes debugging in Kubernetes with the new Node Log Query feature
JR Valdes

Are you struggling to debug Linux and Windows nodes without direct host access? The Node Log Query feature, introduced in Kubernetes 1.30 via KEP-2258 [1], offers a game-changing solution. This session will show you how to leverage this standardized API to retrieve logs from Windows nodes, streamlining troubleshooting and enhancing debugging.

Through live demos using kubectl CLI and plugins, we’ll explore real-world use cases, such as debugging a Windows service failure and monitoring node health in a hybrid Kubernetes cluster. We’ll also discuss security best practices and demonstrate integration with other platforms. Whether you’re a developer, operator, or DevOps engineer, you’ll gain actionable insights to elevate your qualitative process to
record what happened and when it happened, especially on Windows nodes.
