Docker for Windows

For simulating a Docker environment on developer systems we can use Docker for Windows. Docker for Windows uses Windows Hyper-V features to provide the Docker Engine on Windows and Linux kernel-specific features for the Docker daemon. Since Docker for Windows uses Hyper-V with containers features it runs only on 64-bit Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise and Education Build 10586 or later. VMware, VirtualBox, or any other hosted virtualization software cannot run in parallel with Docker for Windows. Docker for Windows can be used to run containers, build custom images, share drives with containers, configure networks, and allocate container specific CPU and RAM memory for performance or load testing.
