Updates to the Windows Container Runtime support
Over the next year, Microsoft will transition support for the Mirantis Container Runtime (previously known as Docker Engine – Enterprise) to Mirantis support services. Windows Server containers will continue to function regardless of the runtime. The difference will be the coordination of associated technical support previously provided by Microsoft and Mirantis.

Before we jump into the content, I wanted to take a moment to explain this blog series: As container's popularity continues to increase, I see more and more ITPros (particularly Microsoft focused ITPros) struggle to use it and even understand how some settings and configurations work for containers.
