Microsoft Windows Server containers
As part of servicing each month, we publish updated Windows Server Base OS container images. With these updates, you can automate building updated container images or manually update them by pulling the latest version. Windows Server containers do not have a servicing stack and do not support in-place updates like Windows Server or Windows client. Therefore, every month we rebuild the Windows Server Base OS container images with the updates and publish the updated container images.
For more information on update best practices, see Update Windows Server containers.
Available server container images
Note
IMPORTANT Because of a required change in how the Windows Server Container images are generated for Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2022, there is no delta container image for the September 2024 release. Instead of the delta container image, the release for September 2024 is a new full container image that replaces the original release layer. Going forward, delta releases will use the September 2024 container as the new baseline. Therefore, there may be a one-time increase in container pull time.
