Summary

In this chapter, you learned about the key aspects of the Windows containers architecture and the differences between the isolation modes provided by the Windows container runtime. We also covered how to install Docker Desktop for Windows and demonstrated how to perform the most important operations using the Docker CLI on the Windows platform.

This and the next two chapters will be the foundations of what you are going to learn about regarding Kubernetes on Windows in the rest of this book. In the next chapter, we will focus on managing state in Windows containers, that is, how to persist data when running containers.
