Features Removed from Windows Server Core Container base image starting with Insider Build 17074 (For Windows Server v1803 release)
Mar 12, 2018 update: due to issues found internally, we added back 2 features:
Printing-Client
Windows-Defender-Features
-------
In the recent blog we shared that we removed a number of features to further reduce the size of the Windows Server Core container base image.
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/containers/a-smaller-windows-server-core-container-with-better-application/ba-p/382412.
Below is that list of features we removed. Let us know if you have any concern or share your feedback with us how this has worked for you. Thanks.
