Linux & Windows Containers on a Hybrid Docker Swarm

on YouTube ↗56m

" summary

Demonstrates a running Docker Swarm hybrid cluster that schedules Windows and Linux images to the correct nodes, uses swarm secrets for encrypted connection strings, and migrates parts of a .NET web app incrementally: the Windows Nanoserver message queue is replaced by NATS on Linux, Elasticsearch + Kibana are added, and the proxy is swapped for nginx on Linux. Demo shows real failures — cached DNS in legacy .NET clients requires service restarts — and after fixes the mixed-OS stack works end-to-end; cites large clusters (600+ nodes) and multi-manager setups.
