Will Workflow Manager support W2016 and SQL2016 anytime soon?
Hi folks.
Currently WFM doesn't seem to support Windows Server 2016 and SQL Server 2016, per the req. document.
Do we have any information, ETA or else when this support might arrive?
It would be great to know the timeline from migration/new farm build purposes.
Thanks!!

The SQL part was discussed in this thread: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint/Does-SharePoint-Workflow-Manager-support-SQL-2016/m-p/21389#M1758

Yes it does support. I have successfully installed Workflow Manager 1.0 on SharePoint Server 2016 which was using SQL 2016 as DB server. Make sure you install all the latest patches on SharePoint Server and SQL 2016 and the most important you must download and install is the latest CU for Workflow Manager and Service Bus.
I am able to create SharePoint 2013 workflow through SharePoint Designer 2013 without any issues on my SharePoint 2016 with SQL 2016 as DB server.
- I would also be interested in knowing if support is coming.
