Docker is a wrapper around Linux. Vagrant is a wrapper around the entire VM [e.g. Virtual Box or VMware]. Thus Vagrant can be used to manage Windows environments. See the list of Vagrant boxes here:

Docker can wrap KVM/Qemu, so you can in fact use Docker as a wrapper around the entire VM...

But I take the point - the idea that anyone deploys stuff to Windows is just so foreign to me that it didn't even occur to me.
