Microsoft has made WSL Containers available to everyone, giving Windows 11 developers a built-in way to create, run, and deploy Linux containers through the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
The release includes the tool wslc.exe for container management, GPU support, networking improvements, health checks, storage mounts, and integration with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Intune. 
Microsoft also says there will be twice the performance when Linux environments access files stored on Windows.
Docker Desktop, Podman Desktop, and Rancher Desktop components remain available, but developers who only need basic container functionality will now have another WSL-based option.
One notable feature that is still missing is support for Compose, the addition of which now appears to be a priority for Microsoft.
Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
