Containers is the next breakthrough in building modern and cloud based applications, comparing it with its predecessors like VM virtualization one would realize that containerization is the fastest, most resource-efficient, scalable, and secure way of building application hosting environments we know so far. Learning Windows Server Containers take you through a long and profound journey of building containerized ASP.NET applications on latest windows server platforms using Docker command line and Docker REST API. The book shows you how to build and ship containers from one environment to other with less hassle during the continuous integration and delivery process. You will learn to build containerized applications using scalable storage containers, cache containers with isolation levels like in VMs. The book helps you build an ecosystem of container hosts, manage composite container deployments, and resource governance.
