Today, we announced an exciting set of joint initiatives with Microsoft, including:

  • Extending Docker to Windows with Docker Engine for Windows Server
  • Microsoft’s support of Docker’s open orchestration APIs
  • Integration of Docker Hub with Microsoft Azure, and
  • Collaboration on the multi-Docker container model, including support for applications consisting of both Linux and Windows Docker containers

I’d like to provide some context for this announcement, and why we are so excited. When Docker was launched as an open source project 18 months ago, we had a simple goal: “To build the ‘button’ that enables any application to be built and deployed on any server, anywhere.”

Great news for Docker. The more the merrier
