Docker for the Absolute Beginner - Hands-On - Docker on Windows

The video tutorial explains Docker's compatibility with Windows, highlighting two main options: Docker Toolbox and Docker Desktop for Windows. Docker Toolbox is a legacy solution using VirtualBox, while Docker Desktop leverages Hyper V for virtualization. The tutorial also introduces Windows Containers, detailing their types and requirements. It concludes with a note on the incompatibility of VirtualBox and Hyper V on the same host and provides migration guidance.

What is a key limitation when running Docker containers on different OS hosts?

• Linux containers can run on any host.

• Windows containers can run on Linux hosts.

• Linux containers can run on Windows hosts.

• Windows containers cannot run on Linux hosts.

What is the primary purpose of Docker Toolbox?

• To replace Docker Desktop for Windows.

• To run Linux containers directly on Windows.

• To facilitate Docker usage on older Windows systems using virtualization.

• To run Windows containers on Windows.

Which virtualization technology does Docker Desktop for Windows use?

• Oracle VirtualBox

• VMware Workstation

• Microsoft Hyper V

• Docker Compose

What must be configured to run Windows containers on Docker Desktop for Windows?

• Switch to using Windows containers.

• Enable Docker Toolbox.

• Install Oracle VirtualBox.

• Switch to using Linux containers.

What is a characteristic of Windows Server containers?

• They require Oracle VirtualBox.

• They share the OS kernel with the host.

• They are only available on Windows 7.

• They run within a virtual machine.

What is the main difference between Windows Server containers and Hyper V Isolation?

• Windows Server containers are more secure.

• Hyper V Isolation shares the OS kernel.

• Windows Server containers run in a VM.

• Hyper V Isolation provides complete kernel isolation.

What is a limitation when using VirtualBox and Hyper V on the same Windows host?

• They require separate installations.

• They both support Windows containers.

• They cannot coexist on the same host.

• They can coexist without issues.
