Are there caveats how containers are licensed or is this all included in Windows Server Datacenter?

p.s. I think I misunderstood, this is not a Windows Server on-prem feature / role but in fact Azure Kubernetes Services?

Windows containers are available in both standard and datacenter editions. The only difference is with regards to Hyper-V isolated containers (which are not yet available on AKS), when using those Standard edition includes two isolated containers per license (similar to WS virtual machines). When using AKS, with Windows containers, you are using Windows Server hosts and the price for the worker nodes includes the OS license. You can also leverage AHUB with AKS to take advantage of your existing licenses.
