Greengrass V2 Docker container in Windows?

Hello,

As mentioned in document[1] : Host computers must meet the following minimum requirements to install and run the AWS IoT Greengrass Core software in a Docker container:

A Linux-based operating system with an internet connection.

Also according to [2]: Prerequisites:

Mac OSX or Linux host computer running Docker and Docker Compose (optional).

Above statements are made based on rigorous testing with the Linux based OS by team as there is nothing mentioned about windows OS is because of limitation and performance issues in windows environment.

Further, [3] gives the option of windows cmd to configure a user to run docker. However as per [4] you can Run Docker containers in components on windows but you cannot Run AWS IoT Greengrass in a Docker container using a prebuilt Docker image in windows.

That being said, if you would like resource based troubleshooting please raise a support case with AWS for further information. If a support case has already been created please be assured we will get back to you and assist you in the best way possible.
