Which method yields a repeatable CI environment: Hyper‑V checkpoints or clean VHDX clones?
Goal Establish a development environment that can be reliably reproduced across CI pipeline runs, minimizing drift caused by host‑level changes. Constraints Hyper‑V hosts may receive OS patches or be upgraded to newer Windows Server releases. Checkpoints capture the entire VM state, but the Hyper‑V API does not guarantee deterministic consistency after a hos
