This document discusses containers in Windows Server 2016. It begins with an agenda that covers containerization in Windows Server 2016, how Windows containers work under the hood, and a "Hello World" demo. It then discusses how containers provide isolation using namespaces and processes. It explains the differences between Windows and Hyper-V containers and how they can be managed with PowerShell or Docker. The document dives into the anatomy of Windows containers and how they use WIM packages for images and create and run containers. It concludes with restrictions on Windows containers and a demo.

kernel level isolation between a Hyper-V container, the
container host, and any other containers running on the
container host.
