Container limitations and Licensing Requirements
Hi, I have three questions about containers:
1) Can you run fully on containers once the migration is complete, or do you need to keep around the original “base server” that is not a container?
2) Are there any limitations to the containers compared to a full server?
3) Does creating additional Kubernetes instances of the same environment does not require additional licensing costs?

1 -- Yes, you can fully run a container without the original server.
2 -- Here are a few:
- You cannot use localhost/127.0.0.1
- PowerShell/Python scripts using Windows syntax paths or utilities will fail, since containers run Linux
- Windows Integrated Security and Service accounts as well as SQL authentication aren't supported on containers for the same reason as PowerShell/python limitations
3 -- Each server will need its own license unless they point to the same database and are in a cluster.
