Feature request: Support for Windows Containers on Windows Server #165

@n1x0n

Description

@n1x0n

We would like to have support for Docker for Windows, preferably both for Docker EE and CE. There are a lot of Windows applications, especially .NET applications, that would benefit from containerization and require persistent storage.

The preferred solution would use CIFS with one share per volume, just like we manage NFS today. Even better would be if there was an option to access these volumes could through both CIFS and NFS to allow sharing of data between containers running on Windows and Linux hosts.

Another option would be "SMB Global Mapping" as described here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/manage-containers/container-storage#smb-mounts

The third option (required for SolidFire and E-series) would be iSCSI volumes formatted with NTFS.
