There are two modes for the containers: Windows Server Containers and Hyper-V Containers

From a development perspective it does not matter because the only difference is a flag Hyper-V / Windows Server container. That is why I wrote two modes and not two types.

Windows Server Containers vs. Hyper-V Containers

Windows Server Containers

Similar to traditional Docker containers.

• Cons
  • There is a very small probability that malware will be able to use exploit and affect host OS.

Hyper-V Containers

Applications are isolated from the OS using virtualization technology.

• Pros
  • If you are paranoid…
• Cons
  • Host OS (VM / physical machine) has to have installed Hyper-V.
