Windows Containers: The Step in Creating Linux/Windows Parity in Cloud Foundry

on YouTube ↗28m

" summary

Cloud Foundry runs native Windows containers on Windows Server 2016 using a new Garden backend written in Go that calls the HCS API to create shared‑kernel containers (not Hyper‑V). Demo pushes a Go executable and an ASP.NET app, shows CF SSH into containers, live restarts via Diego health checks, and buildpack support. Nano Server rootfs is ~450MB vs 5GB full Windows, resource enforcement is not yet implemented and the backend is planned for open source.
