the standard server license has unlimited containers; does this allow for unlimited containers in a VM as well?
eg Host with Server 2025, 2 hyper-v vm, multiple containers running in VM
the license language is not clear if this scenario is supported.

Hi Lance Kujala,
In each Windows Server Standard VM, you can run unlimited non-isolated Windows Server containers as well.

Thanks for the response Ian.
Is there any "documentation" you can point me to that backs up your answer?
Microsoft will occasionally do audits of my systems, so when that happens I need something in writing from Microsoft that this is acceptable usage under the terms of the EULA.
