Windows containers are an operating system-level virtualization method for running multiple isolated Windows systems (containers) on a single control host.

At runtime windows containers share the windows-kernel of the underlying operating system, which sets them apart from linux-containers. A windows container cannot run on a linux-kernel and vice-versa.

Use this tag for indicating that you are using containers which share a Windows kernel.

Do not use this tag if you are using linux containers on Windows.
