Timothy Chen commented on MESOS-3098:
-------------------------------------
Sounds good we should chat and try out the Docker API on Windows with Mesos to
see what we can do.
> 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.
