Explore the concept of hybrid Docker Swarms in this 45-minute conference talk. Learn how to combine Windows and Linux containers within a single cluster, enabling cross-platform distributed applications. Discover the benefits of choosing the right technology stack for each component and leveraging open-source applications to minimize custom software development. Follow along as an existing ASP.NET application is transformed into a containerized solution using Windows Server Core, Windows Nano Server, and Linux. Witness the deployment of this hybrid stack on Azure and understand the advantages of running a distributed cross-platform application within a unified cluster boundary. Gain insights into Linux vs. Windows considerations, visualize the architecture, inspect nodes, implement message queues, and explore service logs in this comprehensive exploration of hybrid Docker Swarm technology.
