Windows support for Nydus

Open ganeshkumarashok opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Hi team, are there plans for extending Nydus to support Windows: for both Windows containers in Windows hosts and Windows containers in Linux hosts? What changes would be needed for that?

That seems like a challenging requirement to nydus:) And I'm not so familiar with Windows container storage subsystem, I will try to start the conversion by get more understanding about the requirement. What are our target scenarios:

  1. WCOW: Windows process/server container on Windows host
  2. WCOW: Windows Hyper-v container on Windows host
  3. WCOL: Windows container in qemu vm in Linux host
  4. LCOW: Linux container in Windows host by WSL2

Is it 1, 2 and 3?

@ganeshkumar5699 Windows has SAMBA and NFS native support and they are native file system solutions without customized drivers. We can make use of them.
