Windows Containers

Working with Windows
containers is special, but still
has significant advantages
over VMs.

Working
with
Window
Containers
Containers require
matching kernel versions
(Some packages are published for
multiple versions; use tag you plan to use
in production)
Kernel needs to be the
same across
build/deploy
The rest of your pipeline
can be Linux
Nothing special about
your Docker Registry

Virtualization
(Windows 10)
- You need to use DSv3 or E3 instances
for that.
- Use docker like you normally would

Helm helps you manage Kubernetes applications — Helm Charts help
you define, install, and upgrade even the most complex Kubernetes
application.
Charts are easy to create, version, share, and publish — so start using
Helm and stop the copy-and-paste.
