The `--isolation=<value>` option sets a container's isolation technology. On Linux, the only supported is the `default` option which uses Linux namespaces. On Microsoft Windows, you can specify these values: * `default`: Use the value specified by the Docker daemon's `--exec-opt` . If the `daemon` does not specify an isolation technology, Microsoft Windows uses `process` as its default value. * `process`: Namespace isolation only. * `hyperv`: Hyper-V hypervisor partition-based isolation. Specifying the `--isolation` flag without a value is the same as setting `--isolation="default"`.
