Linux containers on Windows
In April 2017, Docker announced LinuxKit, a solution for running Linux containers on platforms that are not shipped with the Linux kernel, namely Windows and macOS. LinuxKit is a toolkit for building portable and lightweight Linux subsystems that contain only the bare minimum for running Linux containers on a given platform. Although Docker, since the first release in 2016, was able to run Linux containers on Windows to some limited extent, the announcement of LinuxKit was the milestone that started the story of Linux Containers on Windows (LCOW) as we know them today.
Running Linux containers on Windows is not recommended for production deployments yet. Using LinuxKit and MobyLinuxVM is intended only for Desktop for Windows and development purposes. At the same time, the LCOW feature is still experimental and is not suitable for production.
