Host process containers are a way to package, distribute, and deploy workloads as containers to Windows nodes, running as a process directly on the host, with almost full access to the host's file system, network stack, process space, and event viewers. This feature was designed to be Kubernetes first, allowing for familiar deployment and upgrade stories, and easy monitoring of workloads.
