Drawbridge is a research prototype from Microsoft Research that uses a new form of virtualization for application sandboxing .

technology

Drawbridge combines two core technologies, on the one hand the Picoprozess which is a process-based isolation container with a minimal kernel - API -surface is, secondly, a library operating system.

history

Developer Eric Traut introduced a new kernel in 2007 called MinWin, which was the same NT kernel that has existed since Windows NT 3.1 , but is smaller and more modular. The kernel required approximately 33 MB of memory and was used in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 . Thanks to the modularity of MinWin, the researchers had developed several options and the "Library OS" concept. Finally, the Drawbridge project, which is based on the concept of Library OS, and the concept were presented. Drawbridge was first used in Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 RC2 and has been expanded since then. WSL ( Windows Subsystem for Linux ) also uses parts of Drawbridge. The research project served to develop the container technology for Windows Server 2016 . In 2016 Microsoft ported Microsoft SQL Server to Linux with the help of Drawbridge . In the first 2 weeks after the release, the Microsoft SQL Server for Linux has already been downloaded 21,000 times according to its own statement.
