Windows has containers? How does that work? I know Windows has WSL and Docker Desktop, but they both run a Linux kernel in a hardware accelerated virtual machi

  Containers isn't a Linux thing, in fact the first time I used containers in production, was in HP-UX in 1999, with HP-UX Vaults. In the case of Windows containers, WSL is only there to keep Docker management tools happy, and for Linux containers Windows containers infrastructure is based on Windows Jobs, and they are exclusive, either you run Docker in Linux mode, or you run it talking to Windows containers and this is on way out since containerd no longer needs it. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/ https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscont... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/deploy-containers/containerd https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscont...
