Windows Container Executor
Please check &535 (closed) as a single source of truth for progress and roadmap of windows container exectutor.
Description
Create a new executor for Windows Containers.
Proposal
There are enough significant differences between the Linux Docker daemon and the Windows Docker daemon that it makes sense to develop Windows support as a separate executor to provide the same native Docker functionality of the existing docker
executor.
