I'm new to containers. Currently, I have an instance of Windows Server 2016 running as Azure Virtual Machine. Is it or will it still be impossible to set up a Linux Container on it?
I know that instances of Azure VM are already a kind of Hyper-V instance so that creating a virtual machine on them is not feasible.
Then, recently Microsoft announced Windows Server 2016 will soon get native Linux Container support. However, it seems that the feature is enabled with Hyper-V Container isolation, so I think adding a Linux Container to the server will be still impossible in future.
Is my understanding correct, and if correct, what will be practical merits of this new function?

But in my opinion, I agree with you,\nbecause we can't install Hyper-V on Azure VM (by default).\n\nI think we should wait for some time, then test the new feature in Azure VM.",
