    There is really no need to use Azure SQL even if you are running docker on a Virtual machine in Azure.

    That only complicates things in my eyes.

    SQL Express will be installed in your Docker container if you use BCContainer helper when building your Docker container.

    Hi, I used to test Docker in Hyper's Windows 11 but not with Azure SQL.

    Hope this can give you some hints.
