Just curious, is there an equivalent (or at least similar in spirit) to FreeBSD jails in the Windows world?

  Windows 10 kernel supports “Sandbox”, which might be what comes closest.

    Do you mean the graphical Windows Sandbox tool? Can it also be used headless to run a service for example? That would come pretty close.

  There's Windows Containers[0], which are analogous to Docker containers. They can either be run shared-kernel or in a Hyper-V container. Also Virtualization-based security[1], which is supposed to be completely transparent so it's not really a developer or deployment tool.

  There used to be Virtuozzo containers for Windows and looks like they are bringing it back as a technical preview: https://docs.virtuozzo.com/virtuozzo_hybrid_server_7_users_guide/advanced-tasks/managing-windows-containers.html https://docs.virtuozzo.com/virtuozzo_hybrid_server_7_users_g...

  There’s Sandboxie, which works decently, but does have some compatibility issues: https://sandboxie-plus.com/ https://sandboxie-plus.com/
