Windows versions released in the fall of 2017 (Windows Server 1709 and Windows
|
|
10 Fall Creators Update for server and client respectively) contain improvements
|
|
that improve the experience of running Docker on Windows. Enhancements include:
|
|
|
|
* Docker ingress mode service publishing and virtual-IP based service discovery
|
|
* Mounting container-host named pipes into Windows containers
|
|
* Smaller Windows container base images
|
|
* Linux containers on Windows
|
|
|
|
Check out the
|
|
[blog post announcement for details](https://blog.docker.com/2017/09/docker-windows-server-1709/)
|
|
on use-cases for these new features.
|
|
|
|
## Windows 10 Fall Creators Update
|
|
|
|
Windows 10 users can take advantage of the new Windows features by
|
|
[installing Docker CE _Edge_ for Windows 10](/docker-for-windows/install/). Edge
|
|
comes with the latest Docker platform builds that support the new Windows features.
|
|
|
|
## Windows Server 1709
|
|
|
|
The latest version of Docker Enterprise Edition Basic is 17.06 and Docker EE
|
|
17.06 is the recommended way to run Docker containers on Windows Server 1709 in
|
|
production. Unfortunately, Docker Universal Control plane does not support
|
|
managing Windows Server 1709 workers yet. Only Docker EE Basic is supported on
|
|
Windows Server 1709.
|
|
|
|
Docker EE 17.06 does not support improved networking (ingress and virtual-IP
|
|
based service discovery), named pipe mounting nor Linux containers on Windows
|
|
Server 1709 (it does benefit from the smaller base images). For users that want
|
|
to test these new Windows features with Docker, Docker Inc. makes available
|
|
preview builds of Docker EE. These can be installed from the `preview` channel
|
|
using the standard PowerShell installation method:
|
|
|
|
Install-Module DockerProvider
|
|
Install-Package Docker -ProviderName DockerProvider -RequiredVersion preview
|
|
|
|
Again, Docker Universal Control Plane does not work on Windows Server 1709
|
|
whether running Docker EE 17.06 or Docker EE preview.

## FAQ
|
|
|
|
### Image compatibility
|
|
|
|
Windows container base images are not compatible between Windows Server 2016 and
|
|
Windows Server 1709 (except that Windows Server 1709 can run Windows Server 2016
|
|
based images when using Hyper-V isolation - but not the other way around). Check
|
|
the following Microsoft compatibility docs for details.
|
|
|
|
- [Version compatibility](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/deploy-containers/version-compatibility)
|
|
- [System requirements](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/deploy-containers/system-requirements)
