As the title says. We're planning out our container deployment strategy and what technologies to use. I can't find any documentation on whether or not you can have multiple versions of Windows Server in the same Standalone Service Fabric Cluster.
I googled to find this answer, but haven't been able to find anything specific to this situation.
Yes, it's possible to have Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2022 in the same Standalone Service Fabric Cluster. Microsoft has designed Service Fabric with backward compatibility in mind, allowing applications built on older versions of Windows Server to run on newer versions. The Service Fabric runtime also provides support for heterogeneous clusters, allowing nodes running different versions of Windows Server to coexist within the same cluster.
However, it's important to ensure that the applications deployed on the cluster are compatible with both versions of Windows Server to avoid any compatibility issues. You may need to thoroughly test your applications on both versions of Windows Server to make sure they are compatible. Additionally, if you're deploying containers, you'll need to ensure that your container images are compatible with both versions of Windows Server.
In short, while it's possible to have multiple versions of Windows Server in the same Standalone Service Fabric Cluster, it's important to ensure that your applications and container images are compatible with both versions.
