Alex Clemmer commented on MESOS-3098:
-------------------------------------
Depends what you mean by "the Windows Container API." The Windows folks have
actually ported over the Docker engine itself. The goal of that API is to be
identical; whether they accomplished that, we will see.
As for the magic the DockerContainerizer does to the cgroups, I didn't realize
this was so involved. If we want to have something to show people before
MesosCon, we should probably loop you in with the Windows Container people
immediately to see if there are going to be any problems.
> Implement WindowsContainerizer and WindowsDockerContainerizer

> Key: MESOS-3098
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-3098
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: containerization
> Reporter: Joseph Wu
> Assignee: Alex Clemmer
> Labels: mesosphere
>
> The MVP for Windows support is a containerizer that (1) runs on Windows, and
> (2) runs and passes all the tests that are relevant to the Windows platform
> (_e.g._, not the tests that involve cgroups). To do this we require at least
> a `WindowsContainerizer` (to be implemented alongside the
> `MesosContainerizer`), which provides no meaningful (_e.g._) process
> namespacing (much like the default unix containerizer). In the long term
> (hopefully before MesosCon) we want to support also the Windows container
> API. This will require implementing a separate containerizer, maybe called
> `WindowsDockerContainerizer`.
> Since the Windows container API is actually officially supported through the
> Docker interface (_i.e._, MSFT actually ported the Docker engine to Windows,
> and that is the official API), the interfaces (like the fetcher) shouldn't
> change much. The tests probably will have to change, as we don't have access
> to any isolation primitives like cgroups for those tests.
> Outstanding TODO([~hausdorff]): Flesh out this description when more details
> are available, regarding:
> * The container API for Windows (when we know them)
> * The nuances of Windows vs Linux (when we know them)
> * etc.
