Docker on Windows oleh Elton Stoneman

Key FeaturesPackage traditional .NET Frameworks apps and new .NET Core apps as Docker images, and run them in containers for increased efficiency, portability, and securityDesign and implement distributed applications that run across connected containers, using enterprise-grade open source software from public Docker imagesBuild a full Continuous Deployment pipeline for a .NET Framework application, and deploy it to a highly-available Docker swarm running in the cloudBook DescriptionDocker is a platform for running server applications in lightweight units called containers. You can run Docker on Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10, and run your existing apps in containers to get significant improvements in efficiency, security, and portability.This book teaches you all you need to know about Docker on Windows, from 101 to deploying highly-available workloads in production. This book takes you on a Docker journey, starting with the key concepts and simple examples of how to run .NET Framework and .NET Core apps in Windows Docker containers. Then it moves on to more complex examples—using Docker to modernize the architecture and development of traditional ASP.NET and SQL Server apps.The examples show you how to break up monoliths into distributed apps and deploy them to a clustered environment in the cloud, using the exact same artifacts you use to run them locally. To help you move confidently to production, it then explains Docker security, and the management and support options.The book finishes with guidance on getting started with Docker in your own projects, together with some real-world case studies for Docker implementations, from small-scale on-premises apps to very large-scale apps running on Azure.What you will learnComprehend key Docker concepts: images, containers, registries, and swarmsRun Docker on Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, and in the cloudDeploy and monitor distributed solutions across multiple Docker containersRun containers with high availability and fail-over with Docker SwarmMaster security in-depth with the Docker platform, making your apps more secureBuild a Continuous Deployment pipeline by running Jenkins in DockerDebug applications running in Docker containers using Visual StudioPlan the adoption of Docker in your own organizationAbout the AuthorElton Stoneman has been a Microsoft MVP for 8 years and a Pluralsight author for 5 years, and now he works for Docker, Inc. Before joining Docker, he spent 15 years as a consultant, architecting and delivering very large and very successful solutions built on .NET and powered by Windows and Azure.All the years he worked with Windows, Elton had a secret Linux server in his attic or garage, running core services for the home, such as music servers and file servers. When Docker started to take hold in the Linux world, Elton had early experience in a crossplatform project he worked on, got hooked, and started to focus on containers. He was made a Docker Captain, and for a time, was one of only two people in the world who were both a Microsoft MVP and a Docker Captain.Elton blogs about Docker, tweets about Docker, and speaks about Docker all the time. He is a regular at local events and user groups; you will often see him at Docker London, London DevOps, and WinOps London. Hes also had great fun speaking at fantastic conferences around the world, including DockerCon, NDC London, SDD, DevSum, and NDC Oslo.Table of ContentsGetting Started with Docker on WindowsPackaging and Running Applications as Docker ContainersDeveloping Dockerized .NET and .NET Core ApplicationsPushing and Pulling Images from Docker RegistriesAdopting Container-First Solution DesignOrganizing Distributed Solutions with Docker ComposeOrchestrating Distributed Solutions with Docker SwarmAdministering and Monitoring Dockerized SolutionsUnderstanding the Security Risks and Benefits of DockerPowering a Continuous Deployment Pipeline with DockerDebugging and Instrumenting Application ContainersContainerize What You Know - Guidance for Implementing Docker
