Rearchitecting for MicroServices: Featuring Windows & Linux Containers

This post details the process of containerizing a legacy ASP.NET application using Windows Containers, including an initial Dockerfile that copies pre-built artifacts and a subsequent multistage Dockerfile that builds the application within the container. It then transitions to containerizing a .NET Core application using Linux Containers, showcasing a multistage Dockerfile that builds and publishes the application within the container. The post discusses the benefits and drawbacks of each approach, including image size, build dependencies, and cross-platform compatibility.
