This package contains the Golang interface for using the Windows [Host Compute Service](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/virtualization/2017/01/27/introducing-the-host-compute-service-hcs/) (HCS) to launch and manage [Windows Containers](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/about/). It also contains other helpers and functions for managing Windows Containers such as the Golang interface for the Host Network Service (HNS).
It is primarily used in the [Moby Project](https://github.com/moby/moby), but it can be freely used by other projects as well.
This project requires Golang 1.9 or newer to build.
For system requirements to run this project, see the Microsoft docs on [Windows Container requirements](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/deploy-containers/system-requirements).
