Windows Server Containers for Cloud Foundry - Matthew Horan & Sunjay Bhatia, Pivotal
summary
Garden Windows moves Cloud Foundry from Windows 2012R2 emulated containers to native Windows Server 2016 containers, shipping a Windows OCI runtime called winC OCI CLI and integrating with Guardian via garden-runC. The implementation delivers per-container users, registry and filesystem isolation with a rootfs packaged as a BOSH release, working CPU limits, container loopback networking, and CF SSH demonstrated successfully; Hyper‑V isolation is supported but heavy (≈3 GB, improving toward ~2 GB).
