Since the whole point of Docker would be to deploy these in production and not just for development, I don't see how the term 'ready for production' can be used. Isn't this just a beta?
- sudhirj 10y agoI doubt the problems mentioned happen on Linux or CoreOS, which is likely what a production environment will run on.
- tazjin 10y ago> Linux or CoreOS Well, now I'm confused
- sudhirj 10y agoSorry, CoreOS is Linux as well, but in my mind it's enough of a hyper-specialised immutable auto-updatable container-specific version of Linux that it warrants a separate category when talking about Docker.
- statictype 10y agoDocker for Windows is to isolate Windows software. It's not a tool to test Linux containers on Windows. The deployment target for Docker containers for Windows will be a Windows OS.
- bboreham 10y agoSadly, no, they're using the name "Docker for Windows" to refer to the Docker-on-Linux-in-a-VM-on-Windows version. Real native Windows containers and a Docker shim to manage them are coming: [1] but not released yet.

- gecko 10y agoI am almost positive that is completely incorrect. Can you give any example of Docker being used to isolate Windows software?
- statictype 10y agoYou're right. I was wrong about this
- alexc05 10y agoI don't think so. That's what Jeffery Snover is working on in Server 2016 with Windows nano server. Unless something has changed since the last time I checked, The WindowsServerCore docker image was not generally available yet and requires server2016 (I think it was TP6 the last time I checked) Docker, to my knowledge, is still exclusively Linux flavors. (Though I'm happy to be corrected if someone knows more than me)
- numo16 10y agoDocker images still aren't generally available, but you can now run Windows Container Images based on the NanoServer docker image (and WindowsServerCore image if you replace nanoserver with windowsservercore in their image URL in the docs below) on Windows 10 (insiders build)[0].

- alexc05 10y agoI went wide-eyed about three or four times while reading those instructions! Super exciting! Thanks for the comment.
- moondev 10y agoyou would use kubernetes, dc/os, swarm mode for aws, etc for that. Containers are portable.. nobody is launching a windows vm and doing a "docker run" for their production env
