Can you run Docker natively on the new Windows 10 Linux kernel?

My understanding was that the primary limitation of running docker on other OSs was the Linux Network containers that made it possible. (Certainly for Macs).

Recently Microsoft announced a plan to provide a Linux kernel running natively packaged with Windows 10.

My question is: Can you run Docker natively on the new Windows 10 Linux kernel?

Note - this is not a duplicate of this question (which I also wrote) as that was about the Windows 10 bash userspace, and this is about the Windows 10 Linux kernel.


It's possible yes, it's one of the main "highlights" of Windows Subsystem for Linux 2. The main reason is that WSL 2 runs a Hyper-V container with the full Linux kernel, instead of just something that looks and feels like Linux like WSL 1 does.
