Windows Nano Server is briefly mentioned in the article but they fail to touch on just how lightweight it really is. Currently you can get it on a VHD coming in at 610 MB (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/nano_eula https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowsconta...). Not bad for Windows... Combine that with a need (for whatever reason) to run .NET & IIS and it can definitely make sense to start running some Nano containers.
