In the Windows Server hybrid curriculum for AZ-800, running Windows containers on a Windows Server host requires enabling the Containers feature and installing a container runtime, specifically the Docker (Moby) engine. The guide explains that Windows Server supports two isolation modes-process and Hyper- V isolation-but in both cases you still need a Docker-compatible runtime to pull images, create, and manage containers. The materials emphasize: container functionality isn't provided by Windows Admin Center or WSL; Admin Center is only a management tool and WSL targets Linux user-space scenarios, not Windows container runtime services. Likewise, the Hyper-V role is optional and only needed if you choose Hyper-V isolation for containers; it is not, by itself, sufficient to run containers. Therefore, the required installation to
"configure Server1 to run containers" is the Docker engine (often referred to in Microsoft's docs as Docker
/Moby), after which you can pull Windows base images and run Windows containers on the host. This aligns with the prescribed steps: enable Containers feature # install Docker # configure isolation as needed # deploy containerized apps.
