Using Windows Container to isolate builds, useful for CI/CD
When we use a build server to build our projects, we may get in trouble if we build several project on the same build server over time. For example if we have a project that was created and built with a specific compiler version and tools. Then we put that project a side and created a new project that will now target a new version of a compiler and new version of the tools we used before, maybe also install new components that are needed for the new project. Everything is perfect and works great for the new project. But suddenly we need to fix a bug or have a change request for the old project we put aside. Now we open that old project, make some changes we build the project. BANG! Failed! It can fail because of new tools that aren’t compatible with the old version, or some new components installed did some strange thing that break the build.
