AWS Innovate: Moving Microsoft .Net applications one container at a time - Daniel Zoltak
0 likes487 views
This document discusses moving Microsoft .NET applications to containers. It provides a brief history of .NET and its evolution to support cross-platform development. It explores using .NET and Docker to develop applications on Windows and deploy them in Linux containers on AWS. It demonstrates developing an ASP.NET application on Windows and running it in a Linux container on AWS EC2. It summarizes that Microsoft has made cross-platform development easier with .NET Core, existing applications can run in Docker containers under Mono or .NET Core, and AWS supports .NET and Docker applications through services like EC2 and ECS.
AWS Innovate: Moving Microsoft .Net applications one container at a time - Daniel Zoltak
- 1. Moving Microsoft .NET applications one container at a time โข Daniel Zoltak, Solutions Architect, Amazon Web Services
- 2. Agenda โข A brief history of .NET โข Explore developer experience outside of Windows OS โข Demystify .NET in Docker and Containers โข .NET & Docker hands on demos โข Your AWS service adoption options
- 3. Letโs talk about Microsoft .NET
- 4. v Multi Language VM โ .NET (Common Language Runtime) โข Launched with support of 23 programming languages โข Languages such as Pascal, Haskel, Cobol, VB.NET, C#, J#/Java, etc โข Designed to abstract Windows 32 API & COM โข Simplification of Windows development which was a โblack artโ at the time โข Visual Studio .NET IDE launched as the primary developer experience
- 5. v .NET & Open Source Efforts โข MSFT Shared Sourced & ECMA standardized .NET โข Shared Source Common Language Infrastructure (SSCLI) codenamed Rotor โข Not licensed to be used commercially โข It didnโt go very far outside of academia and research โข Then Mono came alongโฆ โข Took the great ideas of .NET CLR and Rotor and rebuilt it from scratch โข Made it multi-platform (OSX and Linux - and Windows)
- 6. v .NET & Open Source Efforts (2) โข Microsoft decided to go full Open Source with .NET Runtime โข Announced and Released .NET Core CLR โข Cross platform run-time support for .NET applications + ASP.NET Core โข Docker support announced for Windows Developers โข MSFT and 3rd Party Projects at dotnetfoundation.org โข Aims to take open source community projects to the next level
- 7. v ASP.NET Core & CoreCLR Cross Platform โข Premiere developer experience on Windows (still) โข Predominantly GUI and now more command line centric โข Now developers can edit in Visual Studio Code, Sublime, Emacs with intellisense and tools extensions โข Learn more from http://www.omnisharp.net โข Command Line experience same across all platforms โข Windows, OSX and Linux variants โข Enables true automation, continuous integration + delivery (CI/CD)
- 8. v Visual Studio Code on Mac OSX Visual Studio Code A mini-Visual Studio IDE development environment for cross Platform development
- 9. v Demo Video Insert โข Insert Demo here: Innovate - Moving MSFT Apps in Docker - Demo 1 โข Duration 00.05.57
- 10. v Your .NET Framework & Runtime Options โข (Classic) .NET Framework โ Windows only and feature complete โข .NET Core CLR โ New Microsoft cross platform runtime โข Feature Complete now in Stabilization Phase (RC2) โข Linux and OSX in-progress RC2 builds โข Available on GitHub: https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr โข Mono โ 3rd party cross platform and open source โข Similar APIs to .NET Framework with high level of compatibility
- 11. v Switching .NET Environments โข DNVM can be used to manage version of the .NET execution environments on your system
- 13. vโข Apiport โ .NET Portability Analyzer โข Source available on Git: https://github.com/Microsoft/apiport โข Console and Visual Studio Versions: https://dotnet.github.io/porting/ โข MSDN: Porting MSBuild to .NET Core: http://bit.ly/1QyFVaX Porting to .NET Core
- 14. v Whatโs the difference between Runtimes? (And why should I care?) โข .NET Core - No longer large monolithic core Framework libraries requiring whole assembly redeployments โ instead lots of little packages are used โข Using popular NuGet package format used - extend the application & runtime support libraries โข Some common (60+) projects at https://github.com/aspnet System.Core.File System.Core.IO System.Web.Session System.Web.SignalR MyApp.Service MyApp.Libs1 MyApp.LibsNMyApp.API System.Web System.Core MyApp.Everything
- 15. Letโs talk about Docker & Containers โโ
- 16. v How is Docker different from VMs? โข Containers have similar resource isolation and allocation benefits as virtual machines but a different architectural approach allows them to be much more portable, light-weight and efficient.
- 17. v About Containersโฆ โข Include the application and all of its dependencies โข Share the kernel with other running containers โข Run as an isolated process in user space on the host operating system โข Not tied to any specific infrastructure โ Docker containers run on any computer, on any infrastructure such as the AWS cloud โข Popular in Linux world and now available to .NET developers (thank MSFT)
- 18. v Why It Matters to .NET Applications? โข For Existing Applications โข Move your existing .NET applications into highly portable self-sufficient containers โข Extend the life of applications or merely renovate them โข For Green Field Applications โข Develop brand new applications using .NET/ASP.NET โข Develop via Visual Studio (Windows) or Visual Studio Code (OSX/Linux) or CLI โข Press a button or run a script to deploy it into Docker on AWS โข Bring your applications into a modern and agile (CI/CD) DevOps world โข Move into AWS โ gain agility, cost reduction and mass-scale out
- 19. v How does AWS Support .NET & Docker? โข Option 1: Roll your own โข Run Docker on EC2 โข Something you may have already tried to do on your local development PC โข Option 2: Use Rapid Deployment Services โข Use the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Service which natively supports both Docker & Windows IIS โข Great for developers wishing to get started quickly with low interest in the underlying infrastructure โข Option 3: Use Docker as a Service โข Use the AWS EC2 Container Service (ECS) with full native Docker support โข Great for engineers who want full access to the underlying core infrastructur
