If you are a developer or system administrator that wants to learn about working with containers, Docker for Windows provides a great way to get up and running quickly. Windows 10 contains built in support for Windows Containers and Hyper-V Containers. Additionally, you can run Linux containers using Hyper-V, a minimal Linux kernel and userland in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and in Windows Server 1709 or later.
In this article, I will show you how to create a Linux container in Windows 10 using Docker for Windows. If you want to perform the same task on Windows Server, you’ll need Docker Enterprise Edition (Docker EE) instead. To follow the instructions below, you must be running Windows 10 version 1709 or later, on a device that supports Hyper-V with at least 4096MB of RAM. Docker for Windows supports 64-bit Pro and Enterprise editions of Windows 10 only.
