I used to work on govt project that uses a Windows stack and advocated for implementing chef. I feel like Chef totally dropped the ball in terms of marketing / building features out for windows. The documentation, community and reusable recipes was ahead of it's other competitors but needed a lot more. I went to 2 chefcon's and almost all keynotes and workshops were linux focused and every time I brought up a question that is remotely government or windows focused I feel like I'm being treated like a 2nd class user. Government is notoriously slow to adapt to new changes / software, that could've been a space where they could grow with the popularization of containers. There are a few projects I consult on where they still can't / won't use containers.
With that said I'm glad I moved onto a *nix based project and got to learn Ansible and docker
