Virtualization & Containerization security depends a great deal on the security of the underlying platform.
Hyper-V can be used on endpoints [1], similar to VMware Workstation.
It can also be installed as a role on top of Windows Server [2], and, used as bootable OS of its own[3] (likely deprecated in the future, so no hyper-v server past server 2019).
Related to this is the type of Windows server install, as it touches on attack surface also [4], but I believe there are constraints for the very small installs.
This matters because attack surface is likely to be, from smallest to largest: hyper-v server < Windows Server < Windows Endpoint
