This document summarizes a webinar about Docker and Windows Server 2016. It discusses how Docker is now supported on 98% of enterprise workloads, including Windows Server 2016, providing the same benefits of Docker on Linux to Windows developers and IT professionals. It outlines how Microsoft and Docker partnered to port Docker Engine to Windows, and how Docker images can now be built and run across Linux and Windows. It provides examples of using Docker with Windows Server 2016 for development/testing and migrating applications.

1. Docker and Windows Server 2016
Webinar, October 2016

2. Docker on Windows Server 2016
• Now 98% of enterprise workloads supported by Docker
• Proven benefits of Docker on Linux available to Windows Server
developers and IT Pros
• One Docker platform and one adoption journey for all enterprise
applications and infrastructure
• Docker CS Engine with Windows Server 2016 at no additional cost

3. Docker on Windows Server 2016
• Microsoft and Docker formed partnership in 2014
• Windows kernel (both 2016 and Windows 10) now has
containerization primitives
• Microsoft and Docker worked to port Docker Engine to Windows, all in
the open on https://github.com/docker/docker
• Ancillary services like registry, Hub, etc. have multi-arch support,
maintain Linux and Windows Docker images side by side

5. Choice of base image
windowsservercore: Runs most Windows
Server apps, eg. IIS, SQL Server, full .NET
Framework
nanoserver: New minimal Windows version,
runs IIS and .NET Core
Choice of isolation

8. Windows Server 2016 and Docker for IT pros
• Eliminate “works on my machine” problem
• Makes maintaining CI machines much simpler
• Docker images and bundles are great interface with Ops

10. Use Case: Lift & Shift
• Application Agility and Flexibility
• Standardize: Docker abstracts away the
infrastructure and virtualization layers
– No custom-configuring servers - Apps ship
with their dependencies (IIS, .NET, Node,
etc.)
• Isolation: Two dockerized apps with different
.NET versions will run happily side by side
• Portability: Containers move without friction
from one environment to another – no recoding
from virtual, on-prem, cloud

14. Demo Time

15. Get Started with Docker Windows Containers
1.Windows 10 with Anniversary Edition update
– Install Docker for Windows (public beta channel)
– Run Windows Server 2016 in VM
2.Azure
– Windows Server 2016 RTM
– Nanoserver 2016
3.Other (macOS, Linux, older Windows)
– Windows Server 2016 in VM (VirtualBox, VMWare)

16. Docker on Azure
Docker for Azure
• Simple setup of Docker 1.12 swarm-
mode on Azure
• Integrates with Azure load balancing
etc. to make deploying apps smooth
and fast
• DDC is an install-time option, or you
can install it later on
Docker Datacenter Azure Templates
• Pre-built template in Azure
Marketplace
• Various VM deployment options
• BYOL Docker Datacenter license

17. Additional Work with Microsoft
• .NET Core works great in Docker Linux containers
• Microsoft .NET team maintains base images
• .NET Core also for Nano Server and Windowsservercore Docker containers
• To lift and shift older .NET apps, use .NET on windowsservercore Docker
images
.NET Core
• Docker Windows SQL Server container images already available and Linux in
private betaSQL Server
• Plugins for both Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio
• Help with Docker project setup
• Line-by-line debugging
Visual Studio
Tooling
