Overview of this book

This Learning Path helps you understand microservices architecture and leverage various services of Microsoft Azure Service Fabric to build, deploy, and maintain highly scalable enterprise-grade applications. You will learn to select an appropriate Azure backend structure for your solutions and work with its toolkit and managed apps to share your solutions with its service catalog. As you progress through the Learning Path, you will study Azure Cloud Services, Azure-managed Kubernetes, and Azure Container Services deployment techniques. To apply all that you’ve understood, you will build an end-to-end Azure system in scalable, decoupled tiers for an industrial bakery with three business domains. Toward the end of this Learning Path, you will build another scalable architecture using Azure Service Bus topics to send orders between decoupled business domains with scalable worker roles processing these orders. By the end of this Learning Path, you will be comfortable in using development, deployment, and maintenance processes to build robust cloud solutions on Azure. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Learn Microsoft Azure by Mohamed Wali • Implementing Azure Solutions - Second Edition by Florian Klaffenbach, Oliver Michalski, Markus Klein • Microservices with Azure by Namit Tanasseri and Rahul Rai

Deploying a Guest Container


Service Fabric supports hosting containerized Microservices. It offers specialized features to manage containerized workloads. Some of these features are container image deployment and activation, resource governance, repository authentication, container port to host mapping, container-to-container discovery and communication, support for environment variables, and so on. Service Fabric supports two types of container workloads - Windows Containers and Docker Containers. Let's pick them one by one and understand the packaging and deployment process.

Deploying Windows Container

Similar to Guest Executables, Service Fabric will support packaging Guest Containers either through Visual Studio or manually. However, the Visual Studio wizard for Guest Containers is still under development. Let's dive deeper into the process of packaging and deploying a Guest Container manually.

The packaging process consists of four major steps - publishing the container to a repository...
