Hyper-V virtualization requirements are removed with this update. It does rely on Hyper-V isolation, which appears to have more in common with Linux namespaces than virtualization.
Virtualization isn’t completely off the table. The article mentions a minimal, LinuxKit-based hypervisor. I may be off, but I’m imagining something more akin to what’s happening on macOS via HyperKit.
- sz4kerto 9y agoI don't think you're right. Linux containers will keep running inside VMs (How else could they run? WSL isn't there yet and probably never will be.)
- jstarks 9y agoNot quite. It doesn’t use the existing Hyper-V management stack, but it does use the Hyper-V hypervisor and (trimmed down) virtual device stack.
- hungerstrike 9y agoWill the Hyper-V features need to be installed or will it be installed automatically? I'm just curious because sometimes it messes with your video card driver.
- jstarks 9y agoYou’ll have to enable Hyper-V. If you’re having video card issues with Hyper-V + Windows 10 you can email me and we can try to figure out what’s going on.
