Key benefits

Run .NET Framework and .NET Core apps in Docker containers for efficiency, security and portability
Design distributed containerized apps, using enterprise-grade open source software from Docker Hub
Build a CI/CD pipeline with Docker, going from source to a production Docker Swarm in the cloud

Description

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.

Who is this book for?

If you want to modernize an old monolithic application without rewriting it, smooth the deployment to production, or move to DevOps or the cloud, then Docker is the enabler for you. This book gives you a solid grounding in Docker so you can confidently approach all of these scenarios.

What you will learn

Understand key Docker concepts: images, containers, registries and swarms
Run Docker on Windows 10, Windows Server 2019, and in the cloud
Deploy and monitor distributed solutions across multiple Docker containers
Run containers with high availability and failover with Docker Swarm
Master security in-depth with the Docker platform, making your apps more secure
Build a Continuous Deployment pipeline, running Jenkins and Git in Docker
Debug applications running in Docker containers using Visual Studio
Plan the adoption of Docker in your organization

This is interdisciplinary. The concepts are amazing but the devil’s in the details. Not possible to work with the book alone. You need the associated code and then a lot of internet research on top of that. It’s been a few months and only just finished Chapter 6. Learning tons, though.

Ferran May 07, 2019

If you are planning to move your existing Windows application into Docker containers, this book will help you gain knowledge to support it. In the book the author takes a monolithic .NET based application, containerizes it and subsequently breaks it down into micro-services. He then provides guidance as to how to share it, and setup a secure and continuous delivery pipeline.The book is very hands-on and meant to be used in conjunction with the source code (provided for free on Github), so get ready to get your coding going on!

I had the privilege of attending a couple of Elton's presentations @Live conference. This book is a must have for anyone going through the journey of breaking up the monolith, learning how to solve typical problems using Docker. Elton's expertize in the subject matter is expressed throughout the book with clear hands on examples. His advice is invaluable.

This book is a perfect introduction to running Docker Containers within the Microsoft Windows ecosystem. From applications themselves to integrations such as persistent storage, I felt confident in being able to work with containers. Having read the first edition, this 2nd edition expands and provides more detail around the recently released Windows Server 2019 operating system. Recommended for anyone interacting with Windows Containers on a regular basis.

I am a Docker Captain and have been working with Docker on Linux for years. I am new however to Docker on Windows ecosystem. This book is a great way to get started running containers on windows. Whether you are running a single container in dev or supporting production environment -- you will find relevant information in this book. Not at all intimidating to a beginner and still full of useful info for a more experienced user. Tips and tricks and windows idiosyncrasies are well covered throughout the book. Highly recommend as the reference guide for anyone running Docker on Windows.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most.
