I've seen a few people answer this question in the affirmative in previous threads, but I've never seen Windows containers in the wild yet. I work for a consultancy for enterprises, so if it was commonplace I would have expected to see them at least once. Obviously not doubting anyone else; just saying I think it must be pretty rare.

If there are big Windows Server apps (typically .NET Framework) that people want to host in the cloud, then they often choose Windows Containers as the lowest friction solution, at least for step one. I work closely with the Windows Container team, and this is what I see from their customer engagements. Inside Microsoft, it is the same. Many big services at Microsoft have hard dependencies on Windows (both .NET Framework and Win32), and at the same time, many have also embraced Linux.
