Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the repository's existing image definitions and build workflow, then determine how Windows images would fit the supported Node.js versions and CI needs. Done means the Windows image scope and validation approach are defined and agreed.

Description

Problem

We have a toolchain that we develop internally and have need for NodeJS libraries compiled for Windows.

Solution

I hate to be "that (weird) guy," but it would be really nice if there were NodeJS images for Windows

Alternatives to Consider

Currently, we're using nvm-windows to manage NodeJS installations on our Windows build servers, but this can be cumbersome, as we can only run one CI job per machine at a time. to ensure that jobs don't need conflicting versions of NodeJS.
