Information from Microsoft:
At the heart of the Microsoft Cloud Platform, Windows Server brings Microsoft’s experience delivering global-scale cloud services into your infrastructure. Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview 5 provides a wide range of new and enhanced features and capabilities spanning server virtualization, storage, software-defined networking, server management and automation, web and application platform, access and information protection, virtual desktop infrastructure, and more.

Choose Standard or Datacenter edition, depending on the features you need:

Windows Server 2016 Standard

Up to 2 VM's or Hyper-V containers
Unlimited Windows containers

Windows Server 2016 Datacenter

Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview 5 offers a new installation option: Nano Server. It is a remotely managed option similar to Windows Server in Server Core mode, but significantly smaller, has no local logon capability, and only supports 64-bit applications, tools, and agents. It takes up far less disk space, sets up significantly faster, and requires far fewer updates and restarts than Windows Server with the full desktop experience. Starting with the ISO you download here, you can add packages to customize the image with roles, features, and other details and then deploy it. See Getting Started with Nano Server for full details.

As a reminder, these are early pre-release builds. Many of the features and scenarios are still in development. As such, these builds are not intended for production environments, labs, nor full evaluations. This is pre-released software; features and functionality may differ in the final release.
