Ecosystem challenges

Microsoft has suspended its SQL Server on Windows Container beta “with immediate effect”, citing ecosystem challenges.

Microsoft senior program manager Amit Khandelwal said: “Due to the existing ecosystem challenges and usage patterns, we have decided to suspend the SQL Server on Windows Containers beta program for the foreseeable future. However, should circumstances change, we will revisit the decision at an appropriate time.”

Vole introduced Windows Server Containers in Windows Server 2016, enlisting the support of Docker so that developers could quickly deploy containerised Windows applications in the same way as Linux.

Windows containers are essential to the company, used in its Application Guard security feature, which opens untrusted websites and Office documents in an isolated Hyper-V container. In addition, containers were a vital component of the abandoned Windows 10X.
