Docker is a container, not a management platform
No. Docker is a set of tools for managing containers. It takes advantage of namespaces in the Linux Kernel to run the containers https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.docker.com%2Fget-st...
Microsoft has no virtualization capabilities
Microsoft offers it's own Type II Hypervisor called Hyper-V. It's both their on-premesis virtualization solution as well as the base of the technology running their Azure hosted/cloud virtualization options.
I am pretty sure our Exchange server is hosting in Azure.
Mine isn't. Neither is our Active Directory. They're both on premises. I won't go into the pros and cons of moving Exchange or AD to Azure here Can I ask where your Docker Containers are running? Are they running bare metal on-prem? Renting dedicated servers from a hosting provider? Considering you don't understand what a Hypervisor or a VM is I'll assume they're "In the cloud". I hate to break it to you, but that means they're just running as a VM on somebody else's Hypervisor. Either Hyper-V from Microsoft if they're in Azure or Xen if you're on Amazon. I'm glad you were able to move away from Microsoft and all of your workloads can be containerized with Docker on Linux. That sounds really cool. Please understand that not everyone works in an industry that abandoned Microsoft or has workloads that can be containerized.
