Docker Windows Process Isolation

Install Docker in process isolation mode on Windows

TL;DR:

Docker Engine Community

• Requires Docker Desktop for Windows
• Requires Hyper-V
• Does not work if another hypervisor (e.g. VMWare) is active
• High overhead

Docker Engine Enterprise

• No companion app
• Uses Process Isolation as opposed to a VM (just like Linux)
• Works with another hypervisor
• Low overhead

This script will install the latter engine

Support

Tested on Windows 10 Pro 1909. Should work on any Windows build >1809
