Summary
Yes (Windows containers, Hyper-V Containers, Kubernetes - NEW)
Details
Hyper-V under Windows Server 2016 supports containers based on docker. Two kinds of containers exists:
· Windows container: these containers share the Operating System. Only the application dependencies are inside the container (eg: IP stack, .NET, application itself and all change made on the OS)
· Hyper-V container: these containers are located on top of a virtualization layer to increase the security level for multi-tenant environment. The libraries and the binaries are located in the container to avoid interference between the containers
Since Windows Server 2019, Kubernetes containers can be hosted.
The Windows Server 2019 Standard license support only two Hyper-V containers on the same host. For unlimited Hyper-V containers, you require Windows Server 2019 Datacenter.
