Docker is the container solution of choice, as it runs on all platforms and supports the widest range of target environments. .NET developers quickly benefit from it by simplifying everyday tasks like running database servers, message queues or other standard infrastructure components. Creating custom images takes things to the next level, using the “dotnet publish” command line features, built-in options in Visual Studio or other IDEs, or manually fine-tuned Dockerfiles for deployment and development setups. With Docker Compose, complex development environments can replicate service structures on developer machines, watching and rebuilding source code, and providing a direct path to cloud deployments! All of the above is explained and demonstrated in this workshop, and Oliver will cover lots of details as well as related scenarios like Dev Containers and GitHub Actions, as much as time allows. The day is hands-on with lots of samples to test for yourself!
