Can Windows 2016 Standard support Rancher? - windows-server-2016

With the release of Rancher upon 1.3.0 version, Windows 2016 Datacenter with Container can provide the experimental support of Rancher. May I know whether there is any way that we can work with Rancher on Windows 2016 Standard version?

Docker for Windows and Docker for Windows Server are very different things with similar names.
Docker for Windows creates a Linux Hyper-V VM on your PC and runs normal Docker and Docker containers. https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/
Docker for Windows Server runs Windows containers on a port of the Docker engine to Windows. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick-start/quick-start-windows-server
The Rancher support is for Windows containers on Docker for Windows Server. Also I believe even Docker for Windows requires Windows 10 Pro or similar, not Standard.

Bridged networking does not work on VMWare Player 15.5

If I use NAT I get connectivity between my guest OS and all other hosts on my network. If I use Bridged networking I cannot connect from the host to guest os and my guest os cannot connect to any other host on my network.
My host is Windows 10 running on Dell XPS15-9560 laptop. My guest os is ubuntu 19.10.
Does anyone know if this has been fixed in VMWare workstation pro? I can upgrade if the pro version of VMWare will work.
I was able to reproduce this: Installing kubernetes breaks network connectivity. I doubt this is due to VMWare Player.
It also doesn't seem to cause a problem on Ubuntu 18.04, so maybe a problem with 16.04 and 19.10 releases, or maybe just need different installation procedures with different Ubuntu versions.

Build QT program for linux target from windows

Is it possible to build app from windows for linux target?
Also, is it possible to debug linux target with windows machine?
You may install Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10 (Fall Creators Update and later). Any Linux distribution available from the Microsoft Store would be adequate. Then, add the development environment (compilers, development libraries) to you Linux subsystem, and you may build your project for Linux using the bash shell. This would be only slightly more comfortable than installing a Linux virtual machine, but with the inconvenience that GUI programs don't run in WSL. For running and debugging you will need a virtual machine.

What OS can I use (other than Windows) to install Visual Studio, Microsoft SQL Server, ASP.NET and IIS?

I currently have an Ubuntu 18.04 environment. For our course, we need to have Visual Studio, ASP.NET, Microsoft SQL Server and IIS installed. One solution was to install the Windows OS on VMware/VirtualBox, but since Windows OS on a virtual machine is a bit heavy on my laptop, is there any other slightly "light" OS that allows me to install the 4 requirements already mention?
As Lex Li says the IIS is Windows only,VS is only available on Windows and Mac. So you could only use the windows.
Here is a workaround, if you are familiar with the VS code, you could use VS code develop asp.net application, then you could use docker to run the asp.net application with IIS.
More details about how to use vs code in the linux, you could refer to below article:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux
About how to use vs code to test application with docker, you could refer to below article:
