With Microsoft’s May 2023 Windows Server updates, users will need a way to run a fully-featured Docker interface – with enterprise support & up-to-date patches against vulnerabilities. Mirantis Container Runtime (MCR) provides a Windows-native Docker interface – & security for the most mission-critical workloads. Better yet, Windows Server users can deploy from Azure Marketplace with only a few clicks.

In this webinar, we’ll show you how to run and use Mirantis Container Runtime across multiple versions of Windows Server with Azure. Then we’ll walk you through the core features that make life easier for developers & security teams alike, including:
– The familiar Docker interface
– Enforcement for image signing
– OCI certification and CRI-conformance for use with K8s & Swarm
– NIST-validated cryptographic module (aka, FIPS 140-2)
