In part 3 I discussed one of the first motivations which led our team to begin using Docker. That motivation was focused on making the workflow for our front end developers quicker and simpler. In this post I want to explore a second motivation which led to us fully embrace Docker on our project. Just […]

Docker for .NET Developers (Part 5) Exploring ASP.NET Runtime Docker Images
So far in previous posts we’ve been looking at basic demo dockerfiles which use the aspnetcore-build base image. This is okay for testing but does present some issues for actual deployment. One disadvantage of the build image is its size. Since it contains all of the elements needed to build .NET Core applications it is […]
Docker for .NET Developers (Part 4) Working with docker-compose and multiple ASP.NET Core microservices
In Part 3 we looked at one of the motivations behind using Docker with ASP.NET Core to enable simpler developer processes. In this post we’ll them look at using docker-compose files to define and run multi-container systems. I will take a look at how we can build a sample application, containing two services that are […]
Docker for .NET Developers (Part 3) Why we started using Docker with ASP.NET Core
In the prior two posts in this series we took a look at the main Docker terminology and looked at creating a basic dockerfile to define a Docker image containing an ASP.NET Core API application. In this post I want to switch it up a bit and spend a little time sharing a specific practical reason that […]
Docker for .NET Developers (Part 2) Taking a look at our first dockerfile and building an image for an ASP.NET Core API service
In the first post in the series I introduced a few concepts and key terms you’ll need to know if you want to work with Docker. In this post I will cover the steps needed to begin working with Docker in your development environment. We’ll look at creating a very basic sample API service and […]
