+# Windows Containers
+
+![Container with Windows](images/windows-containers.jpg)
+
+---
+
+## Objectives
+
+At the end of this section, you will be able to:
+
+* Understand Windows Container vs. Linux Container.
+
+* Features of Docker for Windows for choosing architecture.
+
+* Run other container architectures via QEMU emulation.
+
+---
+
+## Are Containers *just* for Linux?
+
+Remember that a container must run on the kernel of the OS it's on
+
+  - This is both a benefit and a limitation. 
+  
+  - Since 2013 Docker launch, many OS's have added support for the Docker runtime.
+
+  - We can now run more than "amd64/linux": including Windows, ARM, i386, IBM mainframes, and more, but no macOS or iOS yet :/
+
+--
+
+  - Docker Desktop (macOS/Win) has a emulator too for ARM/PPC and others
+  
+  - Later, try running a [Raspberry Pi (ARM) or PPC container](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/multi-arch/)
+
+---
+
+## History of Windows Containers
+
+- Early 2016, Windows 10 gained support for running Windows binaries in containers.
+
+  - These are known as "Windows Containers"
+  
+  - Win 10 expects Docker for Windows to be installed for full features
+
+  - These must run in Hyper-V mini-VM's with a Windows Server x64 kernel 
+
+  - No "scrach" containers, so use "Core" and "Nano" Server OS base layers
+
+  - Since Hyper-V is required, Windows 10 Home won't work (yet...)
+
+--
+
+- Late 2016, Windows Server 2016 ships with native Docker support
+
+  - Installed via PowerShell, doesn't need Docker for Windows
+
+  - Can run native (without VM), or with [Hyper-V Isolation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/manage-containers/hyperv-container)
+
+---
+
+## Windows Containers Cont.
+
+Windows is largely playing catch up with Linux but moving fast!
+
+You can now do things on Windows you *can't* do on Linux:
+
+LCOW: "Linux Containers on Windows" 
+
+  - Came with the ([Fall 2017 Creators Update](https://blog.docker.com/2018/02/docker-for-windows-18-02-with-windows-10-fall-creators-update/))
+
+  - Run Linux and Windows containers side-by-side on Win 10
+  
+  - No longer required to switch to "Linux Containers"
+
+--
+
+Docker for Windows Users, Start Your Engines:
+
+  ```bash
+    docker pull microsoft/nanoserver:1803
+  ```
+
+--
+
+Doh! We need to switch to Windows Containers mode (do that now)
+
+---
+
+## Run Both Windows and Linux containers
+
+- Run a Nano Windows Server (minimal cli-only server)
+
+  ```bash
+  docker run --rm -it microsoft/nanoserver:1803 powershell
+  Get-Process
+  exit
+  ```
+
+- Run a Busybox Linux in LCOW
+
+  ```bash
+  docker run --rm --platform linux busybox echo hello
+  ```
+
+(You'll notice nothing in Hyper-V but they are there, hidden Nano and "LinuxKit" VMs)
+
+---
+
+## Did We Say Things Move Fast
+
+- Things keep improving. Now `--platform` defaults to `windows`, some images support both
+
+  - golang, mongo, python, redis, hello-world, and more being added
+
+  - You should still use `--plaform` with multi-os images to be certain 
+
+- Windows Containers now support `localhost` accessable containers (July 2018)
+
+- Microsoft (April 2018) added Hyper-V support to Windows 10 Home, so stay tuned for Docker support, maybe?!?
+
+---
+
+## Other Windows Container options
+
+Most "official" Docker images don't run on Windows yet
+
+Places to Look:
+
+  - Hub Official: https://hub.docker.com/u/winamd64/ 
+  
+  - Microsoft: https://hub.docker.com/r/microsoft/
+
+---
+
+## SQL Server? Choice of Linux or Windows
+
+- Microsoft [SQL Server for Linux 2017](https://hub.docker.com/r/microsoft/mssql-server-linux/) (amd64/linux)
+
+- Microsoft [SQL Server Express 2017](https://hub.docker.com/r/microsoft/mssql-server-windows-express/) (amd64/windows)
+
+---
+
+## Windows Tools and Tips
+
+- PowerShell [Tab Completion: DockerCompletion](https://github.com/matt9ucci/DockerCompletion)
+
+- Best Shell GUI: [Cmder.net](http://cmder.net/)
+
