Canonical and Microsoft have teamed up to deliver an truly special experience — running Ubuntu containers with Hyper-V Isolation on Windows 10 and Windows Servers!
We have published a fantastic tutorial at https://ubu.one/UhyperV, with screenshots and easy-to-follow instructions. You should be up and running in minutes!
Follow that tutorial, and you’ll be able to launch Ubuntu containers with Hyper-V isolation by running the following directly from a Windows Powershell:
-
docker run -it ubuntu bash
Cheers!
