  This is exciting for the `Windows Server Nano` piece that is coming with it. Basically a docker-container-image for windows servers. There was a great talk I saw just yesterday https://youtu.be/XVtsw-uzovA?t=466 https://youtu.be/XVtsw-uzovA?t=466 where Jeffrey Snover goes into detail about the huge advantage of NANO over a full-server * 2 vs 23 critical patches * 3 vs 11 reboots * 11 vs 34 ports open * 40 vs 1140 second setup time * 0.4 vs 10.4 GB in VHD size honestly - containerized deployments are going to be a revolution, and being able to run my legacy projects in a container is going to be phenomenal I've got a shared hosting environment with 100's of servers on it, we needed to install a missing package on the server and it had to be scheduled out of hours because of the SLA / impact to other clients. With containers we'd be able to reboot this ONE instance with ~5 seconds without affecting anything else.
