Getting Error when creating a Windows Docker Container on Kaniko/Gitlab - docker

I'm trying to create a Windows Docker container using Kaniko/Gitlab.
Here is the Error I see:

Answer 1

You have the error:
no matching manifest for windows/amd64
which means that particular image could not be found. It happens if you develop on windows and your server is a linux for instance.
This error implies your host machine's OS is not compatible with the OS docker image you are trying to pull.
