The only difference being the underlying kernel and workloads that run on these containers.

Container Host:Physical or Virtual computer system configured with the Windows Container feature.

The container host will run one or more Windows Containers.

For example, lets imagine that you have deployed a container from the Windows Server Core OS image.

You then install MySQL into this container.

Creating a new image from this container would act as a deployable version of the container.

Container OS Image:Containers are deployed from images.

The container OS image is the first layer in potentially many image layers that make up a container.

This image provides the operating system environment.

A Container OS Image is immutable.

That is, it cannot be modified.

These images can be reused many times on the container host.
