I have been working with the Docker Container engine on Windows Server
2016 TP4.  Access to AFS simply does not work there because non-standard
device drivers (kernel modules) are not permitted to be accessed from
within the Container.  This decision was made to improve the portability
of Container images.

It would not surprise me in the least if the same restrictions are added
to Containers on Linux to improve portability of Containers on Linux as
well.
