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.
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.
From the basics of what containers are and how they work, to the scenarios they’re being most widely used for today, to emerging trends supporting “containerization”, I thought I’d share my perspectives to better help you understand how to best embrace this important cloud computing development.
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.
As the cloud evolves, containers are emerging as an attractive way for developers to quickly and efficiently build and deploy these applications at the speed of business.
I’m excited to announce the general availability of the Azure Container Service; the simplest, most open and flexible way to run your container applications in the cloud.
