docker-compose is a command line tool for defining and running multi-container dockerized applications. docker-compose uses a single file to define a multi-container environment. A docker-compose file should be saved with extension yml or yaml. We can compose container environments using services, networks and volumes in a docker-compose file. docker-compose CLI tool should be available on the container host to run the commands. docker-compose gives you options to build images, create volumes, port mappings, define dependencies among components and so on. docker-compose CLI contains commands to manage environments, services or containers. The CLI cane used to setup number of containers for each service. Service Discovery and Registration come out of the box with docker-compose. Docker Swarm is one of the many tools available to manage cluster of containers. The cluster management and orchestration features are built into the Docker Engine using the swarm kit. Docker Swarm uses identical...

Learning Windows Server Containers
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.
