![]() ![]() This means that there is no kernel sharing between the different hyper-v containers. ![]() Every hyper-v container creates its own VM. Windows Hyper-v container is a windows server container that runs in a VM. Going forward, Microsoft will port this functionality to other flavors of Windows. Windows server 2016 has the necessary container primitives that allows native Windows containers to run on it. This mode allows Windows containers to run directly on Windows server 2016. As part of this effort, changes were made both on Docker and Windows side. Microsoft worked with Docker to make this happen. Windows Native containersįolks familiar with Linux containers know that Linux containers uses Linux kernel features like namespaces, cgroups. To containerize Windows applications, Docker engine for Windows needs to use the corresponding Windows kernel features. ![]() We can run Docker Toolbox on any Windows variants. I have written few blogs( 1, 2) about Docker Toolbox before. We can run Linux containers on top of the Docker engine. Docker Toolboxĭocker Toolbox runs Docker engine on top of boot2docker VM image running in Virtualbox hypervisor. The 3 methods that I am covering are Docker Toolbox/Docker machine, Windows native containers, hyper-v containers. I have also covered Windows Docker base images and my experiences trying the different methods to run Docker containers in Windows. In this blog, I will cover different methods to run containers in Windows, technical internals on the methods and comparison between the methods. I recently tried out other methods to deploy containers in Windows. In Windows, I have mostly used Docker machine or Toolbox till now. I have worked mostly with Linux containers till now. This announcement made me to take a deeper look into Windows containers. As part of Dockercon 2017, there was an announcement that Linux containers can run as hyperv container in Windows server. ![]()
