Overview of this book

Docker on Windows, Second Edition teaches you all you need to know about Docker on Windows, from the 101 to running highly-available workloads in production. You’ll be guided through a Docker journey, starting with the key concepts and simple examples of .NET Framework and .NET Core apps in Docker containers on Windows. Then you’ll learn how to use Docker to modernize the architecture and development of traditional ASP.NET and SQL Server apps. The examples show you how to break up legacy monolithic applications into distributed apps and deploy them to a clustered environment in the cloud, using the exact same artifacts you use to run them locally. You’ll see how to build a CI/CD pipeline which uses Docker to compile, package, test and deploy your applications. To help you move confidently to production, you’ll learn about Docker security, and the management and support options. The book finishes with guidance on getting started with Docker in your own projects. You’ll walk through some real-world case studies for Docker implementations, from small-scale on-premises apps to very large-scale apps running on Azure.

Summary

In this chapter, we covered three main topics. First, we covered containerizing legacy .NET Framework applications so that they are good Docker citizens and integrate with the platform for configuration, logging, and monitoring.

Then we covered containerizing database workloads with SQL Server Express and the Dacpac deployment model, building a versioned Docker image that can run a container as a new database or upgrade an existing database.

Finally we showed how to extract functionality from monolithic apps into separate containers, using ASP.NET Core and Windows Nano Server to package a fast, lightweight service that the main application consumes.

You've learned how to use more images from Microsoft on Docker Hub and how to use Windows Server Core for full .NET applications, SQL Server Express for databases, and the Nano Server flavors of the .NET Core image.
