- andymurd 11y agoSome googling reveals that Docker should be able to run a Windows VM on a Linux host but I have no experience of this. I would talk with the wercker guys about your requirements. They have a Slack channel and are very approachable.
- bendtherules 11y agoCan you give a link to where you get that information from? All the places I read are talking about Linux and Windows containers on a Windows machine, but not windows containers on linux machine.
- andymurd 11y agoAfter further digging, I think you are correct (for now). However that looks likely to change soon, as Microsoft certainly seems to drink the microservices kool-aid and want to mix and match Linux and Windows across hosts and tenants[1]. The Windows workloads will need to be architected specifically for containerisation.
