The Hybrid Docker Swarm: Mashing Windows and Linux Apps with Containers

on YouTube ↗45m

" summary

A Docker Swarm mixes Windows and Linux nodes so Windows images run on Windows Server Core or Nano and Linux images run on Linux hosts; an ASP.NET app is split into services, containerized, and deployed across the swarm (Elasticsearch/Cabana and a Nats message queue are moved to Linux, SQL Server runs on Linux CTP). Linux images are much smaller and start faster, the demo shows a ~1,600 NOK/month cost advantage, some data is lost when swapping without shared volumes, but the hybrid deployment works.
