Not today. We have received this ask from a number of customers and are
evaluating what we can do in the future releases of Windows Server.
There are some technology huddles to support it E2E. Can you share a bit
more details on what your use cases are and what's the impact today
without MSMQ support? It'll help us prioritize.
Well, for us the main benefit of MSMQ is the machine local buffer if the remote target is unavailable for some reason. Have yet to find a library that replicates that feature. But not obvious how that would work in a container...
