Re:Microsoft announces Hyper-V Containers by CoreySanders on Wednesday April 08, 2015 @03:12PM (#9343113)
This is pretty close, but there is not actually a VM in the Hyper-V Container. The key thing is, these containers will take advantage of Hyper-V enforced isolation and virtualization but without requiring the full VM. So, while it has this increased isolation, it is still a container, with what you would expect from a container, including better density, faster start-up times, and portability. And will have Docker platform support to make it more flexible across environments.

Hope that helps?

Sounds like Mirage OS / exokernels / unikernels, where the app is compiled to run directly on the VM talking to paravirtualized APIs.

Is there an architecture diagram that shows the boundary between VMM, OS, container and storage layers?
