Topic: Containerization
1
¡ Traditionally, software is developed in a specific computing environment, when
it is transferred to a new environment , often results in bugs and errors.
Containerization is introduced to eliminate this problem.
¡ Containerization is to package software code, related configuration files,
libraries and all its dependencies so that it can run on any infrastructure

¡ Containerization and virtualization are the two most frequently used
mechanisms to host applications in a computer system , both have pros
and cons
§ Virtualization uses virtual machine as the fundamental unit
§ Containerization uses the concept of a container

¡ Container has been exploded in popularity with
the introduction of Docker Engine in 2013.
Because of that, “containerizing” and
“Dockerizing” are often used interchangeably
¡ A container is a process that has been isolated

from all other processes on the host machine
¡ Docker is an open platform that provides the

ability to package and run an application in a
container
5
¡ Docker Objects
§ Docker Image: A Docker image is an immutable file containing the
source code, libraries, dependencies, tools, and other files that are
required for an application to run
§ Docker container: a docker container is a running instance of an
image. It is defined by its image as well as configuration options
when it is created or started
¡ Docker Daemon
§ It listens for Docker API requests and manages Docker objects
¡ Docker client
§ It is used to interact with Docker. When you issue a command (e.g.,
docker run), the client sends the command to dockerd
¡ Docker registry
§ Stores Docker images. Docker Hub is a public registry. By default,
Docker is configured to look for images on Docker Hub.
§ You can use other registry, such as AWS Elastic Container Registry

¡ Docker uses client-server architecture
¡ The Docker client and daemon communicate using
RESTful API over Unix sockets or a network interface

¡ What is a Dockerfile?
§ Docker builds images automatically by reading the instructions from a
Dockerfile which is a text file that contains all commands, in order, needed
to build a given image.
§ A Dockerfile adheres to a specific format and set of instructions which you
can find at Dockerfile reference.
▪ https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/
Set up base image with aspnet runtime
Use full sdk as build stage
Restore packages and build project
Alias build as publish and run dotnet publish
Copy published files into final image with

Just the runtime on it 15
