Microsoft Makes Linux Containers Native on Windows 11

Microsoft has made WSL Containers generally available, giving Windows 11 developers a built-in way to build, run and deploy Linux containers through Windows Subsystem for Linux. The release adds wslc.exe for container management, GPU support, networking improvements, health checks, storage mounts, and integration with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Intune. Microsoft claims up to twice the performance when Linux environments access files stored on Windows.
