Got a new arm64 MacBook Pro and “lost” my molecule testing for Windows.

I used to use vagrant and virtualbox on my amd64 MacBook.

How do I test Window roles now?

Use EC2? Openstack?

Maybe I do not understand docker?

I do not know how to find the arm64 Window docker images.

As I understand docker, running the docker app on arm64 macOS, it cannot run amd64 Window images.

$ docker pull [mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2022](http://mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2022)  
ltsc2022: Pulling from windows/servercore  
no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries

Last I checked arm64 Windows was Windows Insider preview and not available as a docker container?

Which docker container can be used for testing on arm64?
