Evaluate and Migrate Warewolf Docker Image to Windows Server 2022 Base
The current Docker image for the Warewolf application is based on Windows Server 2019 (ltsc2019) with the following characteristics:
-
OS Version: 10.0.17763.6659
-
Architecture: amd64
-
Image Size (Uncompressed): ~7.06 GB
-
Includes: Warewolf server, PowerShell-based entry point script
-
Base Image:
mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2019
Due to the use of the Windows Server 2019 servercore base image, the resulting image is relatively large. However, Windows Server 2022 introduces significant improvements that justify a migration:
Benefits of Migrating to Windows Server 2022:
-
Reduced base image size (~700 MB smaller)
-
Faster container startup times
-
Improved runtime and networking performance
Estimated Image Size Impact:
Layer/Component | WS 2019 Size | WS 2022 Size |
---|---|---|
servercore base layer | ~3.47 GB | ~2.76 GB |
Warewolf + Additions | ~3.5–4.0 GB | ~3.0–3.5 GB |
Total Image Size | ~7.0 GB | ~6.0 GB |
Estimated reduction: ~1 GB or ~15–20% smaller overall image size.
