Usage scenarios

Some common usage scenarios for Windows

containers include:
• Windows Server containers for:
• Hosting stateless apps
• Rapid test deployment

• Hyper-V containers for:

• Multiple tenants
• Single tenants
• Independent lifecycle management
 Installation requirements

You should consider the following when planning

for Windows containers:
• Windows container host requirements
• Virtualized container host requirements
• Supported scenarios

Lesson 2: Preparing to deploy containers

Preparing to deploy Windows Server containers

Preparing to deploy Hyper-V containers
• Deploying package providers
Preparing to deploy Windows Server containers

• To prepare a Nano Server:

• Create a Nano Server virtual hard disk file for containers
• Proceed with the steps below

• Use the following steps to prepare your Windows Server

host for containers:
1. Install the container feature*
2. Create a virtual switch
3. Configure network address translation (NAT) settings
4. Configure media access control (MAC) address spoofing

* This step is not required if you deploy on a Nano Server

Preparing to deploy Hyper-V containers

• To prepare a Nano Server:

• Create a Nano Server virtual hard disk file for containers
• Proceed with the steps below

• Use the following steps to prepare your Windows Server host

for containers:
1. Install the container feature*
2. Enable the Hyper-V role*
3. Enable nested virtualization
4. Configure virtual processors
5. Create a virtual switch
6. Configure NAT settings
7. Configure MAC address spoofing

* This step is not required if you deploy on a Nano Server

Docker support for Windows Server 2016

The Docker Engine for Windows Server requires

Windows Server 2016, and it includes the
following key features:
• No cross-platform containerization
• Create and manage containers using the Docker tool set
Docker components

Docker terminology:
• Image, container, Dockerfile, build
Docker toolbox:
• Docker Engine, Docker Compose, Docker Machine,
Docker client, Kitematic, Docker Registry, Docker Swarm
Docker solutions:
• Docker Hub, Docker Trusted Registry, Universal Control
Panel, Docker Cloud, Docker Datacenter
Usage scenarios

Some common usage scenarios for Docker

include:
• Container orchestration
• Development operations (DevOps)
• Microservices
Installing and configuring Docker

• To install Docker on Windows Server 2016:

1. Install the NuGet package provider
2. Use NuGet to install Docker
3. Restart the container host
• To install Docker on Nano Server:
1. Create a remote Windows PowerShell session
2. Install Windows updates
3. Install Docker
4. Configure security settings
5. Install the Docker client
Overview of management with Docker

• With Docker, you can:

• Create containers
• Remove containers
• Manage containers
• Browse Docker Hub to access and download prebuilt
images
• In most organizations, the most common Docker
management tasks include:
• Automating the creation of container images by using
Dockerfile on Windows OSs
• Managing containers by using Docker
• Using docker run
Overview of Docker Hub
Docker with Azure
Demonstration: Deploying containers by using Docker

In this demonstration, you will see how to:

• Install the NuGet package provider
• Install Docker
• Download an image
• Deploy a new container
• Manage the container

Lab Scenario

The DevOps team at A. Datum Corporation wants

to explore the containers feature to see if it can
help reduce the time it takes to deploy new apps
and to simplify the process of moving apps to the
cloud. The team decided to evaluate Windows
Server containers and the process for deploying
IIS within a container.
