I currently use Docker on Linux to spawn/manage an elastic cluster. While this works great in linux, the docker for windows variant will of course not run on a VM of Windows. Now looking to Windows 2016, we have containers and microsoft has a very active docker repo. Will there be a windows container for elastic soon?
