Which Windows Server edition supports Windows Containers and up to two Hyper-V Containers?

• A. Standard
• B. Essential
• C. Storage server
• D. Datacenter

Answer: (A)

This question tests which Windows Server edition supports Windows Containers and allows up to two Hyper-V Containers. Windows Containers run in process-isolated environments that share the host OS kernel, while Hyper-V Containers provide stronger isolation by running each container inside a lightweight virtual machine. Both types are supported on editions that include container capabilities, but the licensing and limits differ. In the Standard edition, you can run Windows Containers and up to two Hyper-V Containers per license. Datacenter edition, by contrast, allows an unlimited number of Hyper-V Containers. Essentials and Storage Server are not designed for container workloads in the same way and don’t provide this specific container/Hyper-V container licensing balance. So, the edition described—Windows Containers with a limit of two Hyper-V Containers per license—fits Standard.
