Today, as Microsoft and Docker, Inc. we are making the Docker command line interface available on Windows starting with the Docker 1.6 release. As a part of our...partnership, Microsoft has worked with the Docker community to port the Docker client to Windows, making it easy to manage Docker hosts and containers for those using Windows as their development machines. Docker Client for Windows can be used to manage Docker hosts running Linux containers today, and managing Windows Server Containers and Hyper-V...Containers will be supported in the future to provide the same standard Docker Client and interface on multiple development environments. Microsoft and Docker have collaborated to port the Docker Client to the Windows environment in Docker’s open source project, which you can...

While it continues to be surprisingly sunny here in Seattle, our continued contribution and integration with the awesome updates from the Docker community should not be surprising. Today, I am excited to announce that we are joining Docker, Inc. in announcing the beta releases...of Docker Machine and Docker Swarm on Azure and Docker Machine support on Hyper-V. We also plan to directly support Docker Compose in the Azure provisioning pipeline, using our Docker Azure extension. Last October...we promised to continue to support and contribute to the Docker community and today is one more step. You can find more details on the support for Docker Machine on Windows Server Hyper-V in Ross’s blog here. The Hyper-V support simplifies going “zero to Docker...

Last month, we announced support for deploying Docker on Azure Virtual Machines, using our extension technology to enable the high-density power of Docker as quickly and easily as possible. Continuing our commitment to give customers more open and community-driven...choices, today we are announcing plans to work with Google and Docker to bring support for both Kubernetes and libswarm open source projects on the Microsoft Azure platform. Announced in June, Kubernetes is a declarative container...management solution supporting orchestration and scheduling of Docker containers, originally built on top of Google Compute Engine. Microsoft Open Technologie...

In June, Microsoft Azure added support for Docker containers on Linux VMs, enabling the broad ecosystem of Dockerized Linux applications to run within Azure’s industry-leading cloud. Today, Microsoft and Docker Inc. are jointly announcing we are bringing the Windows Server ecosystem to the Docker community, through 1) investments in the next wave...of Windows Server, 2) open-source development of the Docker Engine for Windows Server, 3) Azure support for the Docker Open Orchestration APIs and 4) federation of Docker Hub images in to the Azure Gallery and Portal. Many customers are running a mix of Wind...cloud provider. By supporting Docker containers on the next wave of Windows Server, we are excited to make available Docker open solutions across both Windows Server and Linux. Applications can themselves be mixe...

In the last several weeks after Microsoft’s partnership with Docker announcement, we have added several features to make it easy to integrate Docker containers with Microsoft Azure including Portal...support for Azure extensions to setup a Docker host on Azure Linux VMs and support for private registry on Azure – see Ahmet Alp Balkan’s blog...on How to Deploy a Private Docker Registry on Azure. Today, I am happy to announce that you can now use a Docker client directly from your Windows machine to manage containers running on Linux hosts. For more details on how to build and setup up a Docker CLI...

Today, at DockerCon, we will have a demonstration showing the deployment of Docker directly into an Azure Linux Virtual Machine using the Azure extension technology. It is similar to what we demonstrated with Chef and Linux integration...at ChefConf, explained in my Freakin’ Delightful post. The Azure Docker support goes one step further and integrates with our cross-platform CLI toolset, built...by the Microsoft Open Technologies team, allowing a simple “azure vm docker create” command to launch the magic of Docker on Linux on Azure. Coolness. We built extensions in Azure to make it easy to use the solutions you love. I hope you will love Docker support! You can find more details about this announcement in this blog post. See ya a...

We are excited to announce we have just made creating Docker Swarm clusters on Azure as simple as only a few clicks. With the expressive power of Azure Resource Manager Templates, you can deploy a Docker Swarm cluster of almost...any size to Azure in a few minutes. Docker Swarm is a native clustering tool for Docker which turns multiple Docker engines into a cluster and makes that a cluster by making it look like a single Docker engine. It's easier to install...than any other container orchestrator. This way, you can create a pool of Virtual Machines that are container hosts and scale out your applications using Docker as if you were using a single VM. In this sense, Docker Swarm is a very practical and easy solution to the container orchestration problem and y...
