Hyper-V containers

Hyper-V containers are types of Windows containers which provide higher security compared to Windows server containers. Hyper-V hosts Windows server containers in lightweight, highly optimized Hyper-V virtual machines. Thus, they bring a higher degree of resource isolation, but at the cost of efficiency and density on the host. They can be used when the trust boundaries of the host OS requires additional security. In this configuration, the kernel of the container host is not shared with other containers on the same host. Since these containers do not share the kernel with the host or other containers on the host, they can run kernels with different versions and configurations. Users can choose to run containers with or without Hyper-V isolation at runtime.
