This document summarizes a presentation about running .NET applications on Docker containers. It discusses getting started with Docker, differences between Windows and Linux containers, building .NET and Node.js applications as Docker images, deploying containers to production environments, and the future of Docker integration with desktop applications and Microsoft technologies. Examples are provided of Dockerfile instructions for .NET and Node.js applications and using Docker Compose to run multi-container applications.

Container

11. Own Process Space
Own Network Interface
Own Root Directories
Sandboxed
Like a lightweight VM. But it’s not a VM.
Container

12. Native CPU
Native Memory
Native IO
No Pre-Allocation
No Performance Overheard
Container

13. Milliseconds to launch

14. Docker - An open platform for distributed
applications for developers and sysadmins.

15. Got us to agree on something!

17. Batteries included but
removable

To fix this issue add 'vm.overcommit_memory = 1' to /etc/sysctl.conf and then reboot or run the command 'sysctl
vm.overcommit_memory=1' for this to take effect.

create latency and memory usage issues with Redis. To fix this issue run the command 'echo never >
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled' as root, and add it to your /etc/rc.local in order to retain the setting after a
reboot. Redis must be restarted after THP is disabled.

But they can help…

51. Production isn’t special
Just another environment

52. Immutable
Disposable Container Pattern

NODE_ENV: 'production’
restart: always
// Production version of docker-compose-dev.yml

67. Read Only Containers
> docker run –-read-only
–v /data:/data
elasticsearch

68. Is Docker Secure?
• Yes. It’s as secure as your practices
are.
• ElasticSearch hack would have taken over
entire box
• New game, new rules to play by

71. Your local machine is now the
same as production

72. The Future?

73. Docker + Windows

74. Microsoft

77. SQL Server as a Container

78. Visual Studio as a Container?

79. RStudio
• docker run -d -p 8787:8787 rocker/rstudio

80. Docker + Desktop
Applications

81. It’s amazing, but a little
confusing.
