Windows Server containers

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, please refer to Update Windows Server containers.

NOTE Because of a required change in how the Windows container image (mcr.microsoft.com/windows:ltsc2019) is generated for Windows Server 2019, there will not be a delta container image for the November 2022 release. Instead of the delta container image, the release for November 2022 will be a new full container image that will replace the original RTM layer going forward. Future delta releases will use the November 2022 container as the new baseline.

IMPORTANT The Windows image download size is a one-time increase which will increase the download time. Later releases will include smaller delta images. This change does not affect Nano Server and Server Core images for Windows Server 2019 or any of the images for Windows Server 2022.
