Does this change one of the fundamental tenets of docker, namely that docker images are portable (thanks to the linux kernel providing a very high degree of backwards compatibility).
In order words, will there now be Windows images and Linux images, and Windows images will run on Windows hosts and Linux images on Linux hosts?
- wmf 12y agoDocker images already weren't portable between Linux/x86-64, Linux/ARM, and Linux/Power, so Windows/x86-64 is one more platform. I wouldn't be surprised to see Illumos/x86-64 at some point.
- nickstinemates 12y agoThere is a budding Docker/ARM community I cannot wait to support. More on that soon.
- geertj 12y agoOK, it's architecture vs OS, but I get the point. Thanks for the clarification.
