In summary, I know I've mentioned it quite a bit, but Microsoft
and Docker being such big business partners means that we have
wide‑scale support and easy support and interactions with Docker,
and even more to the point now,
the ability to run Windows Server containers. We can manage all of our Docker
stuff from our Windows client just by installing the Docker Desktop tools, and
we've also seen lots and lots of integration and support for containers in
Azure. And I just scratched the surface.
I know that's kind of a cliché, but there's a whole lot more in Azure you can
do with Docker containers than what I showed in this single lesson.
Containerization forms the basis of a microservices architecture where your
application, instead of just being a monolith where making a modification to
one part of that monolith as you're holding your breath hoping you don't break
something else in that monolith, a microservices architecture is where you
decompose your application into independent parts. Much easier to scale and
secure nowadays. I want you to consider that notion. Even though you may not be
a developer,
think about that pattern of moving from monolithic
applications to microservices and moving away from
virtual machines and toward containers.
Consider this as you and your team make your Azure application migration plans.
In the meantime, I look forward to seeing you in the next, actually final
module in the course, Manage Azure Virtual Machines that Run Windows
Server. Thanks very much for your participation. I appreciate you.
