Microsoft also started uploading windows server core with various application as docker images to <a href="https://hub.docker.com/u/microsoft/?page=1">docker hub</a>.</p> <p>I was wondering whether it’s possible to run Windows 2016 TP5 on an EC2 instance and launch a windows container inside the EC2 instance. EC2 officially supports only upto Windows 2012 R2 and I couldn’t find any 2016 AMI’s in Ireland region. Hence I decided to install Windows 2016 TP5 on local VirtualBox, upload it to S3 create AMI out of it and launch the EC2 instance.</p>
