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: Deploying Windows Server and Hyper-V
containers

• Deploying Windows Server containers

• Deploying Hyper-V containers
• Managing Windows Server and Hyper-V
containers by using Windows PowerShell
• Demonstration: Installing the containers feature
and preparing for Docker
Deploying Windows Server containers

• To prepare a Nano Server:

• Create a Nano Server virtual hard disk (VHD) 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 NAT settings
4. Configure MAC address spoofing
5. Install container operating system images

* Step not required if you deploy to a Nano Server

Deploying Hyper-V containers

• To prepare a Nano Server:

• Create a Nano Server virtual hard disk (VHD) 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
8. Install container operating system images

* Step not required if you deploy to a Nano Server

Managing Windows Server and Hyper-V containers
by using Windows PowerShell

• You can use Windows PowerShell or Docker to

administer your containers
• Typical tasks are:
• Creating containers
• Starting containers
• Connecting to containers
• Stopping containers
• Removing containers
Demonstration: Installing the containers feature
and preparing for Docker

In this demonstration, you will see how to prepare

for managing containers using Docker
Lesson 3: Installing, configuring, and managing
containers by using Docker

• What is Docker?
• Docker support on Windows Server 2016
• Docker components
• Usage scenarios
• Installing and configuring Docker
• Overview of management with Docker
• Overview of Docker Hub
• Docker with Azure
• Demonstration: Deploying Hyper-V containers by
using Docker

Docker support on Windows Server 2016

The Docker Engine for Windows Server requires

Windows Server 2016, and it includes the following
key points:
• No cross-platform containerization
• Two ways to manage containers in Windows OS
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
• DevOps
• Microservices
Installing and configuring Docker

With Docker, you can:

• Create containers
• Remove containers
• Browse the Docker Hub
Overview of management with Docker

• With Docker, you can:

• Create containers
• Remove containers
• Manage containers
• Browse the 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 OS
• Managing containers by using Docker
• Using docker run
Overview of Docker Hub
Docker with Azure
Demonstration: Deploying Hyper-V containers
by using Docker

In this demonstration, you will see how to:

• View base images
• View sample images from Docker Hub
• Download prebuilt Microsoft/IIS Docker images
• Deploy a new container with the prebuilt image
• Manage the container with Docker
