This document discusses using Docker to run SQL Server instances in containers for testing and development purposes. It provides an overview of Docker components like images, containers, and registries. It then demonstrates running SQL Server on Docker with Azure Data Studio as a runbook. The demo shows pulling SQL Server images from Docker Hub, running containers, and managing them with common Docker commands. This allows running multiple isolated SQL Server instances on one machine quickly and efficiently.
