One of the claimed benefits of Docker is that developers build and test the same images that are run in production. It seems like multi-platform support negates that.

Multi-platform seems like a good direction to go in, so it might be a worthwhile tradeoff.

The target of Multi-Platform support is to allow workloads to target different platforms, but not as a single container can run on both. Consider the scenario: Web Front End built with Node.js, targeting Linux ASP.NET Web API, built with NET Core, targeting Nano Server (Windows) Redis Cache, used for the WebAPI, run as a Linux Container. When you spin up these containers, you should be able to say docker-compose up, and docker, Mesos, ... know how to route the containers to the appropriate hosts. Steve
