Windows Server 2019 runner image Docker Engine version updating to v27

[jersonACN]

Description

When will the docker engine API be updated to v27 for Windows Server 2019 (windows-2019)? We are using a vendor tool (Aqua Security) for docker image scanning and it has compatibility issue with the Docker Engine API version.

Is it regression?

No

Expected behavior

If the Docker Engine API version of the windows-2019 runner image and Aqua Security scanner tool.

Actual behavior

The issue is caused by a lower version of Docker Engine API compared to the vendor scanning tool.

1. Use windows-2019 as the MS hosted build agent.
2. Build, scan a Windows image.
