Portability with Windows Server Annual Channel for Containers
Earlier this month we the Windows Server Annual Channel for Containers and emphasized a new feature that will be available in the 23H2 release that enables container image portability between Windows Servers 2022 LTSC images and annual channel 23H2 host OS coming this fall.Updates to the Windows Container Runtime support
Over the next year, Microsoft will transition support for the Mirantis Container Runtime (previously known as Docker Engine – Enterprise) to Mirantis support services. Windows Server containers will continue to function regardless of the runtime. The difference will be the coordination of associated technical support previously provided by Microsoft and Mirantis. The Mirantis Container Runtime will continue to be available from and supported by Mirantis. For more information, see Mirantis’s blog here.New survey - Windows Server application survey!
Happy new year everyone! With the new year, it's time to make plans and goals for the new cycle. At Microsoft, we're always planning for what's ahead, what we want to accomplish, and how can we delight our customers. That planning and the resulting prioritization is based on what we hear from our customers. So, from time to time we publish surveys to get a broader sense of what customers are thinking, how our products can help them succeed, and make sure we align our goals. Today, I'm here to ask for your input - we just released a new survey focused on understanding how customers approach Windows Server application modernization. This survey is focused on understanding how customers approach modernization of Windows Server apps, what are the challenges, how they think about the modernization process, what spins up the process, etc. This is of immeasurable value to us and will help us prioritize the work for the coming years. To answer the survey, please access: https://aka.ms/WSAppModSurvey. Feel free to share the link above with anyone and thank you in advance for your support!Use Docker Compose and Service Discovery on Windows to scale-out your multi-service container application
