Windows container and consul sidecar

[Hkyx]

Hi,

I have a multi OS kubernetes cluster and want to use consul as service mesh. the problem is the avaibility of the sidecar is only for linux not windows so we tried to install consul, execute it to check on a localhost application/web service, exposed with the port 80. but the service never show up, no logs and consul get a lot of grpc error with a good configuration.

Anyone with a work around for that or a windows sidecar ? (vault+consul )

ty,

Hkx

Thanks.
