If you are a beginner and getting started with Containerization & tools like Docker, then this post shows how to set up & use Docker Desktop on Windows.

Learn the key differences between Docker Desktop and Docker Engine to optimize containerization, DevOps workflows, and development setups.

The short story is that Microsoft and Docker have penned a partnership that will see developers able to create Windows Server Docker containers. The long story has lots of context to it.

Microsoft is building new container technologies into the next Windows Server release, enabling Dockerized applications to run on Windows Server on-premises or on Azure.
