Q
  1. Describe the basic principles of deploying containers on a Windows System.
A

Containers are isolated environments to run applications or make configuration changes without affecting the Windows Host or Host configurations. Containers are not Virtual Machines. A Container Management layer is added between the operating system and applications. There is only one operating system unlike with Virtual Machines that have a separate OS installed on them.

Q
  1. What are the advantages of using containers?
A

Some advantages of containers include

portability (easy to move without impacting the Host OS),

disposability (easy to delete containers without impacting the Host OS),

licensing (you do not need a separate license per container unlike VMs that need a separate license per OS installed).

Q
  1. What two container types can be deployed?
A

You can create Windows Server Containers which are used to isolate applications so each has its own view of the host OS, or you can create Hyper-V Containers which are based on the hardware-assisted virtualization provided by the Hyper-V hypervisor.

Q
  1. What management issue exists with respect to Container Storage?
A

Container Storage is not persistent. If the container is shut down, then any changes made within a running container are lost. You can create an image file that captures the container’s configuration and file system changes, or mount a directory in the container host’s file system in the file system of the container.

Q
  1. What network types are available for container networking?
A

You can configure NAT to do address translations between the container’s private addressing to the physical network segment.

You can configure a Transparent network where there is a connection directly to the physical network segment to allow addressing through DHCP directly to the container’s virtual adapter.

You can configure an L2 network that uses Layer 2 tunneling between networks.
