It is not available in some editions of Windows, such as Window 10 Home Edition. If you might want to run Docker, you should probably go for Hyper-V. “Docker for Windows” runs on Hyper-V (note that the older “Docker Toolbox” still run on VirtualBox though) It can automatically save your VM state during host shutdown, and restore the VM when the host boots up. You could save some hard disk space here when you run multiple copies of the same instance, or when your instances share the base image of an OS. It supports the differencing disk format which allows multiple VMs to share a base disk image. We use this a lot to revert our VMs to a previously saved state, when we are experimenting with something. Pros of Hyper-VĬheckpoints can be created fast and efficiently. 1Īs users of both of these software, we have came out a list of pros and cons for Hyper-V and VirtualBox, so you can decide which hypervisor you would use. One of the problem is you cannot run both hypervisors software at the same time, and you cannot switch between them without a system reboot. 
To run virtualization task on Windows, two of popular hypervisors that come to mind are Windows Hyper-V and Oracle VM VirtualBox.
