In this chapter, we have learned to create container host environments on Azure using automation and to configure it to be used as a remote container host. The following is a summary of what we have learned in this chapter:
- Azure ARM provides a fool-proof way of creating Windows Container hosts using configuration driven automation
- Windows Container hosts can be configured for remote connectivity using secure/non-secure connection types
- For configuring a secured connection we need OpenSSL and CA server
- Docker provides multiple isolation options called Windows Containers (default) and Hyper-v Containers using the same client and server process
- Specifying the isolation type is a runtime decision
- Hyper-V Containers provide greater isolation and have high boot times
- Hyper-V Containers are not VMs, so they cannot be managed using traditional Hyper-V tools
- There are good and bad intermediate/dangling images, bad images occupy space on the container host and hence should be deleted manually on...
