The windows application lifecycle implements the traditional Cloud Foundry deployment strategy.

The Builder downloads buildpacks and app bits, and produces a droplet.

The Launcher runs the start command using a standard rootfs and environment.

The Healthcheck runs a tcp port check, defaulting to port 8080.

The WebAppServer runs a HostableWebCore server to host the user's app.
