Usage scenarios
Some common usage scenarios for Windows
containers include:
• Windows Server containers for:
• Hosting stateless apps
• Rapid test deployment
• Hyper-V containers for:
• Multiple tenants
• Single tenants
• Independent lifecycle management
Installation requirements
You should consider the following when planning
for Windows containers:
• Windows container host requirements
• Virtualized container host requirements
• Supported scenarios

Managing Windows Server and Hyper-V containers
by using Windows PowerShell
• Demonstration: Installing the Containers feature
and preparing for Docker
Deploying Windows Server containers
• To prepare a Nano Server:
• Create a Nano Server virtual hard disk (VHD) file for containers
• Proceed with the steps below
• Use the following steps to prepare your Windows Server
host for containers:
1. Install the container feature*
2. Create a virtual switch
3. Configure NAT settings
4. Configure MAC address spoofing
5. Install container operating system images
* Step not required if you deploy to a Nano Server
Deploying Hyper-V containers
• To prepare a Nano Server:
• Create a Nano Server virtual hard disk (VHD) file for containers
• Proceed with the steps below
• Use the following steps to prepare your Windows Server host for
containers:
1. Install the container feature*
2. Enable the Hyper-V role*
3. Enable nested virtualization
4. Configure virtual processors
5. Create a virtual switch
6. Configure NAT settings
7. Configure MAC address spoofing
8. Install container operating system images
* Step not required if you deploy to a Nano Server
Managing Windows Server and Hyper-V
containers by using Windows PowerShell
• You can use Windows PowerShell or Docker to
administer your containers
• Typical tasks are:
• Creating containers
• Starting containers
• Connecting to containers
• Stopping containers
• Removing containers
Demonstration: Installing the Containers feature
and preparing for Docker
In this demonstration, you will see how to:
• Install the Containers feature
• Prepare for Docker

Docker support on Windows Server 2016
The Docker Engine for Windows Server requires
Windows Server 2016, and it includes the following
key points:
• No cross-platform containerization
• Two ways to manage containers in Windows OS
Docker components
Docker terminology:
• Image, container, Dockerfile, Build
Docker toolbox
• Docker Engine, Docker Compose, Docker machine,
Docker client, Kitematic, Docker Registry, Docker Swarm
Docker solutions
• Docker Hub, Docker Trusted Registry, Universal Control
Panel, Docker Cloud, Docker Datacenter
Usage scenarios
Some common usage scenarios for Docker include:
• Container orchestration
• DevOps
• Microservices
Installing and configuring Docker
Overview of management with Docker
• With Docker, you can:
• Create containers
• Remove containers
• Manage containers
• Browse the Docker Hub to access and download prebuilt
images
• In most organizations, the most common Docker
management tasks include:
• Automating the creation of container images by using
Dockerfile on Windows OS
• Managing containers by using Docker
• Using docker run
Overview of Docker Hub
Docker with Azure
Demonstration: Deploying containers by using Docker
In this demonstration, you will see how to:
• View base images
• View sample images from Docker Hub
• Download prebuilt Microsoft/IIS Docker images
• Deploy a new container with the prebuilt image
• Manage the container with Docker
