Hello All!!! Wondering if anyone has gotten the android sdk and emulator successfully working in a container on M1 macs. I’m running into issues with the emulator itself and right now it’s complaining about not finding devices/emulators or hardware acceleration

At one company I am working with they are struggling with adopting containers on Windows-based developer machines. The IT department is a strong opponent because of perceived security issues and required admin rights. They highly regulate the developer machines. Developers are also biased due to them reporting that docker on windows is not really a thing and often leads to problems. I want to validate if these arguments are solveable and docker on windows is doable. Any experience in running docker on windows?
Basic rule of thumb…. Windows is fine as a desktop, and for any Microsoft-owned apps. They haven’t (yet) bought docker, so it’s terrible for docker…
Sorry for your plight. It’s admirable to try and change, but such beliefs in the enterprise can be deeply held. It’s easier to change job than change security world views.
I am not sure where you work, what industry, etc. And there could be fine reasons for those reservations. However, there are likely companies that are both, larger, more regulated, that are also somehow able to run containers without concerns of the security implications.
They can still control the network, what images you pull, how you pull them, what versions are used etc.
Thanks for your insights!
