Azure Saturday Hamburg: Containerize Your .NET Microservice - the Right Way!
0 likes251 views
The document provides guidance on containerizing .NET microservices, specifically focusing on best practices for Dockerfiles, base images, and design patterns. Key points include the use of small base images, multi-stage builds, and adherence to principles like the 12-factor app methodology. Additionally, it highlights resources for .NET base images and offers strategies for efficient image building and microservices development.

- 5. A Dockerfile story • microservices is based on ASP.NET Core 5.0 • most is the same for ASP.NET Core 3.x • linux-only • you will see anti-patterns (keep this in mind)! • they are indicated with an orange bubble © white duck GmbH 2021

- 10. A good starting point • define image tags • use small images if possible (Alpine, Debian-slim) • multi-stage builds • think about your layers • use dotnet restore and dotnet publish • do not run as root © white duck GmbH 2021
- 11. Smaller, smaller, smaller • 75 MB instead of 125 MB (including a small app) • not the best option for most use-cases • smaller images size but bigger layer changes • self-contained and trimmed binary • smallest possible base image © white duck GmbH 2021
- 13. THE .NET BASE IMAGES © white duck GmbH 2021
- 14. Base images • documentation and tags are available on Docker Hub • https://hub.docker.com/_/microsoft-dotnet/ • https://hub.docker.com/_/microsoft-dotnet-framework/ • images are distributed via mcr.microsoft.com • https://mcr.microsoft.com/v2/_catalog/ • https://mcr.microsoft.com/v2/dotnet/xxx/tags/list © white duck GmbH 2021

- 19. New location for .NET (Core) images • all linux-based images (including 2.x, 3.x and 5.x) got moved to a new repo • old: mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/xxx • new: mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/xxx • update your existing Dockerfiles! © white duck GmbH 2021

- 22. General image build best practices • add a .dockerignore file to your repo • use multi-stage builds and reduce layers (but not for any price) • use BuildKit or any other modern solution to speed up your build • Azure Container Registry (ACR) image builds can reduce dependencies on your build machine (CI/CD) • and many more • https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/dockerfile_best- practices © white duck GmbH 2021
- 23. 12-Factor App • defines 12 important factors to build solid microservices • https://12factor.net • a few examples • store config in envs (AddEnvironmentVariables) • export services via port binding • execute the app as one (or more) stateless processes • maximize robustness with fast startup and graceful shutdown • run admin/management tasks as one-off processes © white duck GmbH 2021
- 24. Container Design patterns • write application logs to STDOUT (AddConsole) • provide liveness, readiness endpoints (AddHealthChecks) • Init-container, side-car, ambassador pattern • think about • distributed tracing • retries • circuit breakers • … © white duck GmbH 2021
