Overview of this book

Windows Server Containers are independent, isolated, manageable and portable application environments which are light weight and shippable. Decomposing your application into smaller manageable components or MicroServices helps in building scalable and distributed application environments. Windows Server Containers have a significant impact on application developers, development operations (DevOps) and infrastructure management teams. Applications can be built, shipped and deployed in a fast-paced manner on an easily manageable and updatable environment. Learning Windows Server Containers teaches you to build simple to advanced production grade container based application using Asp.Net Core, Visual Studio, Azure, Docker and PowerShell technologies. The book teaches you to build and deploy simple web applications as Windows and Hyper-V containers on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 on Azure. You will learn to build on top of Windows Container Base OS Images, integrate with existing images from Docker Hub, create custom images and publish to Hub. You will also learn to work with storage containers built using Volumes and SQL Server as container, create and configure custom networks, integrate with Redis Cache containers, configure continuous integration and deployment pipelines using VSTS and Git Repository. Further you can also learn to manage resources for a container, setting up monitoring and diagnostics, deploy composite container environments using Docker Compose on Windows and manage container clusters using Docker Swarm. The last chapter of the book focuses on building applications using Microsoft’s new and thinnest server platform – Nano Servers.

Relational databases and SQL Server container


Designing applications using microservices approach is the best way to increase ROI and agility, breaking down your application into silos and letting each time manage a silo increases the delivery momentum. Up to this point, we have learned building web applications as containers which can be scaled up or updated within minutes. We have also seen how to build applications using scalable storage facilities. However, in reality, no application deals in all in non-relational data, so this section focuses on building applications using relational database containers like SQL Server. Database containers help raise the delivery velocity by a great extent, and they can be used to create test/development environments, isolated and sandboxed environments at increased speed. Database containers are also a great help when you are building multi-tenant applications: each tenant's database can be independently managed and scaled per usage. Each tenant can...
