Wow, that's more of an article than a reply.
One of my colleagues is already building Docker Linux containers for a small board controller, these are tiny, only about 3 Mb. Hence my bosses enthousiasm I think, he probably thinks Windows containers will be that size too, but this will obviously be disappointing to him ...
Thanks for taking the time to reply!

One thing to keep in mind is that the base image is immutable and is shared among all Docker services on the machine that use the same base image.
So if you had 5 services that consisted solely of 1mb executables, and they all used the same Windows Nano base image, you'd only use up about 405MB of disk space. The images built on top of the base image are just stored as a set of diffs from the base image. Though I think if you ask Docker how big each image is, it'll report 401MB - the size of the base image plus the diff - so unless you know about the immutable bit, it'll look like you're using up more space than you actually are.
This can make Hello World apps look huge, but you keep in mind you're only going to have one copy of that base image shared across all apps that use it, it's not so bad. If you take care to ensure that all of your apps and services use the same base image, it can be a pretty sane way to deploy your apps to servers, because you'll get the benefits of having your apps completely self-contained without needing to install each one in its own VM.
The massive Hello World isn't as much of an issue on the Linux side of things if you build on top of an Alpine Linux image. I've packaged up a few server apps written in Go, which statically links everything into a single executable, and my whole image (base + diff) was under 10 megabytes.

Maybe Microsoft will put together a really tiny Windows Docker base image. What's smaller than nano? Windows Server Muon, maybe?

yeah heard about that. Would freak me out big time.
one thing I can't do is heights (even without the effects), tall buildings I can't even get close to the windows. (planes though don't bother me, even little ones and wild banking.)

Open source? Look at the guys sitting next to you when you ride that thing. I would expect to see Isaac Newton having the time of his life and Albert Einstein who is explaining to him what gravity actually is.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Hi
Will it be possible to connect to azure storage and download files from AX 2012 R3 customer master.
We have a operations software dot net application where we upload customer related documents. Finance users use dynamics AX 2012 R3 for finance and they need to pull some documents from dot net application. This has to be done by sitting inside dynamics AX 2012 R3.
