I'm a little curious. What part of Microsoft having container availability in it's cloud offering is not interesting (particularly given that it can run both linux and windows containers)? In other words, what makes you assume that the upvotes are 'paid' vs people being interested in the technology?

Do you have a technical link to how to run Windows Containers in this new offering? I tried to look and this is the most specific I could find: " At this time the service supports Linux containers only. Microsoft has committed to providing Windows Server Containers using Docker and Apache Mesos is being ported to Windows. This work will allow us to add Windows Server Container support to Azure Container Service in the future. " https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azure-container-service-preview/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azure-container-servi... However that documentation is old as you can see. I cant find any new documentation. I did find a post on how to setup a virtual machine of Windows Server 2016 preview and use it as a container

  Right now, the Azure Container Service is a Linux only offering. We are working to enable Windows Server Container support using the Windows Server 2016 preview. Stay tuned for future announcements on this.

  As Corey says, Windows Server Containers are not yet supported in ACS. It is coming though. Windows Server Containers have existed since the release of Windows Server 2016 TP4 and you can try that out on Azure if you want to experiment with early code.

  Sorry, I was looking at this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick_start/manage_docker https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowsconta... Which specifically mentions: Windows Server Containers: A Windows Container Host running Windows Server 2016 (Full or Core), either on-prem or in Azure. Which I mistakenly thought was part of this offering.
