Docker on Windows - Second Edition

By: Elton Stoneman

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.

Learning about Docker with this book

Every code listing in this book is accompanied by a full code sample on my GitHub repository at https://github.com/sixeyed/docker-on-windows. There's a branch for this edition of the book, called second-edition. The source tree is organized into a folder for each chapter, and for each chapter there's a folder for each code sample. In this chapter, I've used three samples to create Docker images, which you'll find in ch01\ch01-whale, ch01\ch01-az, and ch01\ch01-dockertls.

The code listings in this book may be condensed, but the full code can always be found in the GitHub repository.

I prefer to follow along with code samples when I'm learning a new technology, but if you want to use working versions of the demo applications, every sample is also available as a public Docker image on Docker Hub. Wherever you see a docker...
