What we’re seeing
• Density, isolation, portability,
multitenancy are usually
consequences, not
motivators, of a container
strategy
• Objectively, a benefit is that
containers are not VMs –
they’re faster and cheaper to
create and move around
• Containers can be more than
an implementation decision:
some organizations look at
containers for strategic
“[Azure’s] speed of delivery is
exceptional. If we need more local
bandwidth in Los Angeles, for
instance, we have it within seconds.
And the deep integration with
Docker means we can also have
new virtual machines online within
seconds“

• Thousands of customers running
millions of cloud hours with

Mesosphere, CoreOS and Rancher
• Large portion of usage comes from
commercial Enterprise & large

• Public cloud usage for container

14.
What we’re seeing
• Software alone is not enough to
drive digital transformation.
Organizations need developer
agility and data agility.
• When it comes to agility,
containers are a better tool than
VMs
• Organizations also benefit from a
hyperscale approach
• Microservices and a solution like
DC/OS & the cloud can help

Containers
Howdotheydifferfromvirtualmachines?
Dependencies: Each virtualized app includes the
app itself, required binaries and libraries and a
guest OS,
which may consist of multiple GB of data.
Independent OS: Each VM can have a different OS
from other VMs, along with a different OS to the
host itself.
Flexible: VMs can be migrated to other hosts to
balance resource usage and for host maintenance,
without downtime.
Secure: High levels of resource and security
isolation
for key virtualized workloads.

Containers in VMs: By combining containers with
VMs, users can deploy multiple, different VM
operating systems, and inside, deploy multiple
containers within those guest OSs.
By combining containers with VMs, fewer VMs
would be required to support a larger number of
apps.
Fewer VMs would result in a reduction in storage
consumption.
Each VM would support multiple isolated apps,
increasing overall density.
Flexible: Running containers inside VMs enables
features such as live migration for optimal
resource utilization and host maintenance.

Docker Hub: Huge collection of open and curated
applications available for download.
Collaboration: Bring Windows Server containers
to the Docker ecosystem to expand the reach of
both developer communities.
Docker Engine: Docker Engine for Windows
Server containers will be developed under the aegis
of the Docker open source project.
Docker client: Windows customers will be able to
use the same standard Docker client and interface
on multiple development environments.

Windows Server Containers
Anatomyandkeycapabilities
Build: Developers will use familiar development
tools, such as Visual Studio, to write apps to run
within containers.
By building modular apps leveraging containers,
modules can scale independently, and be updated on
independent cadences.
Run: Container capabilities built into Windows Server
Manage: Deploy and manage containers using
PowerShell,
or using Docker.
Resources: Define CPU and memory resources per
container along with storage and network throughput.
Network: Provide NAT or DHCP/static IP for network
connectivity.

Consistency: Hyper-V Containers use the same APIs
Windows Server Containers ensuring consistency across
management and deployment toolsets.
Compatibility: Hyper-V Containers use the exact same
images as Windows Server Containers.
Strong Isolation: Each Hyper-V container has it’s own
dedicated copy of the kernel
Highly Trusted: Built with proven Hyper-V
virtualization technology.
Optimized: The virtualization layer and the operating
system have been specifically optimized for containers
