Building .NET Apps with Docker: A Developer’s Guide to Containerizing, Deploying, and Scaling .NET Applications with Docker
Build modern, portable, and production-ready .NET applications with the power of Docker.
Building .NET Apps with Docker
is a practical, hands-on guide for developers and DevOps engineers who want to harness containerization to streamline development, testing, deployment, and scaling of .NET applications across environments.
Whether you're developing with .NET Core or the latest .NET 7+ versions, Docker enables you to create consistent environments, reduce deployment friction, and scale services seamlessly. This book provides everything you need to know—from setting up your Docker workspace and writing Dockerfiles to deploying multi-container applications in the cloud.
Designed for developers at every level, this comprehensive resource dives deep into real-world use cases, sample code, and best practices. It starts with the fundamentals of Docker and builds up to advanced topics such as Docker Compose, secure deployments, CI/CD pipelines, and running containers in production environments like Azure, AWS, and Kubernetes.
You’ll learn how to containerize different types of .NET applications—console apps, ASP.NET Core web apps, microservices—and connect them with containerized databases and services. With step-by-step instructions, you’ll explore how to optimize image size, troubleshoot issues, write efficient Dockerfiles, and implement secure, scalable containers for real-world scenarios.
Inside the
Learn the core concepts of Docker, including containers, images, volumes, and networks
Install Docker Desktop and configure your development environment for .NET projects
Write Dockerfiles and .dockerignore files to create optimized .NET images
Containerize .NET console and web applications using multi-stage builds
Run and connect to databases like SQL Server and PostgreSQL in Docker
Debug and monitor Dockerized applications with logging and health checks
Use Docker Compose to manage multi-container applications with .NET, Redis, RabbitMQ, and more
Implement secure development practices including secrets management and non-root containers
Push images to Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry, and Azure Container Registry
Automate testing, builds, and deployments using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Azure DevOps
Deploy Docker containers to cloud environments and orchestrate them with Kubernetes
Monitor and scale applications with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Docker Swarm
With practical examples and fully-documented sample Dockerfiles and Compose configurations, this book gives you a blueprint for using Docker in every phase of the software development lifecycle.
