This document discusses building and deploying multi-architecture Linux and Windows container images. It introduces containers and their benefits, such as standardizing software packaging and isolating applications. It then demonstrates how to build Docker images for multiple platforms including Linux distributions and Windows Server 2016. Methods shown include pushing images per platform and using a manifest tool to deploy a multi-OS, multi-architecture image. The document concludes by noting the advantages of supporting multiple platforms and growing the Windows Docker community.
