+On Windows, `WORKDIR` behaves differently depending on whether using Windows

|
+Server containers or Hyper-V containers. For Hyper-V containers, the engine
|
|
|
+is, for architectural reasons, unable to create the directory if it does not
|
|
|
+previously exist. For Windows Server containers, the directory is created
|
|
|
+if it does not exist. Hence, for consistency between Windows Server and
|
|
|
+Hyper-V containers, it is strongly recommended to include an explict instruction
|
|
|
+to create the directory in the Dockerfile. For example:
|
|
|

|
|
|
+ # escape=`
