Containerizing ASP.NET Core projects
Containerization is a technology that is about making software development, deployment, and execution more efficient, consistent, and scalable.
How containers work and their benefits
Containers run on a single machine’s OS kernel and share that kernel with other containers. They’re lightweight because they don’t need the extra load of a hypervisor that manages VMs. Containers run directly within the host machine’s kernel. This makes them more efficient, faster, and less resource-intensive than traditional VMs that require a full-blown OS for each VM. This makes containers especially useful for hosting microservices.
The primary benefits of containerization are shown in the following list:
- Portability: Once a container is created, it can be run anywhere, making it easy to move applications across different operating system environments, like variations of Linux or Windows Server, with confidence...
