Kas on võimalik käivitada Windowsi operatsioonisüsteem kui külaline Docker konteineris?

Running a full Windows operating system inside a Docker container is not possible because Docker containers use the host OS kernel and do not emulate hardware.

Containers isolate processes but do not virtualize the entire OS. Therefore:

• On a Linux host, you cannot run a Windows container with a full Windows OS.
• On a Windows host, you can run Windows containers, but they use the host's Windows kernel.

If a full Windows virtual machine is needed, hypervisors (e.g., Hyper-V, VirtualBox) are used, not containers.

Thus, Windows as a guest OS in a Docker container does not run, but Windows applications can be run in Windows containers on a Windows host.
