Is possible to use selenium hub with internet explorer node?

I can use Selenium hub with Firefox and Chrome node using docker and kubernetes with the images on https://hub.docker.com/u/selenium. But in Selenium's docker hub don't has internet explorer image. Have another way to do that (using docker and kubernetes)?

The answer is unfortunately not. See Is it possible to dockerize Internet Explorer?. Docker doesn't want to support a browser that does not have a headless mode.

Copying my answer from https://stackoverflow.com/a/55704955/5449500

Still there is no official approach to run IE/EDGE inside docker as "No Windows docker images have GUI, so we cannot test IE11, EDGE."

But,We can install virtual-box and make this happen.

This approach adds extra layer of virtualization[Nesting of virtualization] on the top of docker to make the IE/Edge execution happen and I think in near future it may leads to to performance issue for heavy testing.

If Selenium testing is what you are looking for and don't have heavy load , you can give a try to the approach mentioned in the link.
