title: Public windows docker image for azure machine learning
body: <p>Our machine learning workflow requires use of a custom windows .pyc file. Where can I find a windows docker image file.</p>
  
  <p>I am puzzled by this statement from <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/how-to-deploy-custom-docker-image#create-a-custom-base-image" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/how-to-deploy-custom-docker-image#create-a-custom-base-image</a>. Is it really true that azure cannot use windows images? </p>
  
  <pre><code>Image requirements: Azure Machine Learning only supports Docker images that provide the following software:
  
  Ubuntu 16.04 or greater.
  Conda 4.5.# or greater.
  Python 3.5.# or 3.6.#.
  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Searching on docker hub also did not turn up anything promising</p>
