Good to know. I've read differently at [1], but I may have not understood
it fully:
" In order to run Hyper-V containers, the Hyper-V role is required. If the
Windows container host is itself a Hyper-V virtual machine, nested
virtualization will need to be enabled before installing the Hyper-V role.
For more information on nested virtualization, see Nested Virtualization."

I think my confusion is between 'Windows Containers' and 'Hyper-V
Containers' (which are similar to running containers on Atomic guests, I
reckon, though we do not require nested virtualization for that).

The other article[2] hints at what changes are needed for networking to
work. Perhaps related to this issue.
