One problem we have found is that distributing things as containers can cause headaches for users who have to get set up with Docker locally first. Some users struggle due to lack of familiarity or lacking things like virtualusation support or wsl2. Nice would be native container support in windows.
@@marcotroster8247 what do you mean by expecting? What i mean is that it would be nice if some container execution component was available as a windows feature somehow, or if there was some sort of easy way of getting docker running without the complications. We have distributed docker images only to find a whole raft of users struggling with issues from the obscure to the obvious.
Windows containers do exist. However, they are not size optimized and can be very big. Also, licensing issues can be complicated. I think we are slowly heading towards a future where containers are not dependent on an OS. Linux or Windows. Those would extremely lightweight containers and would have the fewest dependencies. We are not quite there yet, but progress is being made on this front.
@@mubashir3 I know that Windows containers exist. But no one uses them for a reason. And Linux compatibility is usually achieved by running an Ubuntu VM with WSL.
How can i find the presentation pack?

Yeah but Docker is based on Linux kernel features. Why are you expecting it to work on Windows? Obviously you need to run Linux somehow.

@@marcotroster8247still an issue if most of your devs are using windows
