Yes (Windows containers, Hyper-V Containers)
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
The Windows Server 2016 Standard license support only two Hyper-V containers on the same host. For unlimited Hyper-V containers, you require Windows Server 2016 Datacenter.
