This could, potentially, be in a tabbed format as mentions in the issue referenced above. We would also need the entry reflected on the creates the Linux task page by moving / refactoring the existing "join node" contents from the "create a cluster" page: creates the Windows task page by taking the content from at the end of the Windows page we add note/disclaimer whatever that says that CNI on Windows needs special handling and we link to the various CNI choices at: adds tabs in the to choose between OS for joining nodes. /priority backlog /help
