Containerization Candidates

Do you have any good rules of thumb for identifying workloads that would be good candidates for Containerization?

  • Hey Steven, 

     

    First and foremost, container are well-suited where the OS trusts the workloads running in it. Workloads that you can break into componentized pieces are great as well--the microservice architecture is well suited for such a thing. Our friends over at the .NET team have written up guides, tutorials, and git projects which help to illustrate this idea. I'd start there: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/microservices-architecture/
