Summary
In this chapter, we have reviewed the pros and cons of containerization. We saw where containers help us to downsize some of the resource requirements that our applications have and created a portable version of these applications for development and deployment use.
Docker is an industry-leading containerization software that has a growing community of contributors. Docker can be installed on a machine and then used to manage images and containers as needed. We will also have access to Docker Hub, which is a popular repository for publicly accessible images.
When we integrate Docker into our ASP.NET Core application, we open a new dimension to what it means to build and host our own applications.
