Moving Microsoft .NET Applications One Container at a Time The document discusses moving Microsoft .NET applications to containers using Docker. It provides a brief history of .NET and how open source efforts have made it cross-platform. It then covers .NET Core, ASP.NET Core, and how the developer experience is now cross-platform. Hands-on demos show developing an ASP.NET Core app on Windows and running it in a Linux container on AWS. Finally, it discusses how AWS supports .NET and Docker through options like rolling your own, using Elastic Beanstalk, or Amazon ECS.

Agenda • A Brief History of Microsoft .NET • Explore Developer Experience Outside of Windows OS • Demystify .NET in Docker and Containers • Level 300: .NET and Docker hands on Demos • Your AWS Service Adoption Options
Let’s talk about Microsoft .NET
Multi Language VM – Microsoft .NET (Common Language Runtime) • Launched with Support of 23 Programming Languages • Languages such as Pascal, Haskel, Cobol, VB.NET, C#, J#/Java, etc • Designed to Abstract Windows 32 API and COM • Simplification of Windows Development which was a “Black Art” at the Time • Visual Studio .NET IDE Launched as the Primary Developer Experience
.NET and Open Source Efforts • MSFT Shared Sourced and ECMA standardised .NET • Shared Source Common Language Infrastructure (SSCLI) codenamed Rotor • Not Licensed to be Used Commercially • It didn’t go very far Outside of Academia and Research • Then Mono Came Along… • Took the great ideas of .NET CLR and Rotor and Rebuilt it from Scratch • Made it Multi-platform (OSX and Linux - and Windows) • And Mono-touch made it Cross Device (iOS and Android) • Added Support for Visual Studio / MonoDevelop (and XCode) • Now (2016) Microsoft has acquired Xamarin
.NET and Open Source Efforts (2) • Roslyn Released – .NET Compiler Platform Tools • Set of open-source compilers and code analysis APIs for C# and Visual Basic .NET languages • Microsoft Decided to go Full Open Source with .NET Runtime • Announced and Released .NET Core CLR • Cross platform run-time support for .NET applications + ASP.NET Core • Docker support announced for Windows Developers • MSFT and 3rd Party Projects at www.dotnetfoundation.org • Aims to take Open Source Community Projects to the Next Level
ASP.NET Core and CoreCLR Cross Platform • Premiere Developer Experience on Windows (still) • Predominantly GUI and now more command line centric • Now Developers can edit in Visual Studio Code, Sublime, emacs with intellisense and tools extensions on OSX and Linux • Learn more from http://www.omnisharp.net • Command Line Experience same across All Platforms (CLI) • Windows, OSX and Linux Variants • Enables true Automation, continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD)
Visual Studio Code on Mac OSX Visual Studio Code A Mini-Visual Studio IDE Development Environment for Cross Platform Development
Your .NET Framework and Runtime Options • (Classic) .NET Framework – Windows Only and Feature Complete • .NET Core CLR – New Microsoft Cross Platform Runtime • Feature Complete now in Stabilisation Phase (RC2) • Linux and OSX in-progress RC2 builds (Ubuntu, Centos, FreeBSD, OSX, SuSe) • Available on Git: https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr • Mono – 3rd Party Cross Platform and Open Source • Similar APIs to .NET Framework with high level of compatibility
Developer Experience
Porting to .NET Core • Apiport – .NET Portability Analyser • Source available on Git: https://github.com/Microsoft/apiport • Console and Visual Studio Versions: https://dotnet.github.io/porting/ • MSDN: Porting MSBuild to .NET Core: http://bit.ly/1QyFVaX
What’s the Difference Between Runtimes? (And why should I care?) • .NET Core – No longer large monolithic core Framework libraries requiring whole assembly redeployments – instead lots of little packages are used • Using Popular NuGet Package Format Used – extend the application and runtime support libraries • 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
Let’s talk about Docker & Containers ☐✔
How is Docker Different from VMs? 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.
About Containers… • Include the Application and all of its Dependencies • Share the Kernel with Other Running Containers • Run as an Isolated Process in user space on the Host Operating System • Not Tied to any Specific Infrastructure – Docker Containers run on Any Computer, on Any Infrastructure such as the AWS Cloud • Popular in Linux World and Now Available to .NET Developers (thank MSFT)
Why It Matters to Microsoft Applications? • For Existing Applications • Move your existing .NET applications into highly portable self-sufficient containers • Extend the life of applications or merely renovate them • For Green Field Applications • Develop brand new applications using ASP.NET Core/.NET Core • Develop via Visual Studio (Windows) or Visual Studio Code (OSX/Linux) or CLI • Press a button or run a script to deploy it into Docker on AWS • Bring your applications into a modern and agile (CI/CD) DevOps world • Move into AWS – Gain Agility, Cost Reduction and Mass-Scale Out
Hands on Demos… Develop an ASP.NET Core App on Windows and run in a Linux Container on AWS ☐✔ ☐✔
Demo 1: Roll Your Own on EC2 Develop on Windows, Deploy and Run in Linux Docker Engine Windows Server on EC2 + Visual Studio IDE Deploy Application Visual Studio Deployed
Demo 1: Deployment Overview EC2 Instance EC2 Instance
Demo 2: Use AWS ElasticBeanstalk Service Develop on Windows, Deploy and Run in Linux Windows Server on EC2 + Visual Studio IDE Deploy Application AWS Elastic Beanstalk Amazon Linux Beanstalk Agent
Demo 2: Deployment Overview AWS Elastic Beanstalk Bucket EB CLI dotnet publish Elastic Load Balancing Auto Scaling group EC2 Instance Application microsoft/dotnet
Demo 3: Use Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS) Develop on Windows, Deploy and Run in Linux Windows Server on EC2 + Visual Studio IDE Amazon ECS Amazon Linux ECS Agent Deploy Application
Demo 3 – Part A: Deployment Overview EC2 Instance EC2 Instance Amazon ECR docker push
Demo 3 – Part B: Deployment Overview Amazon ECR Amazon ECS aws-cli Elastic Load Balancing Auto Scaling group EC2 Instance EC2 Instance Task Definition Service Definition ecs-cli aws-cli
How Does AWS Support .NET & Docker? Option 1: Roll Your Own • Run Docker on EC2 • Something you may have already tried to do on your local development PC Option 2: Use Rapid Deployment Services • Use the AWS ElasticBeanstalk Service which natively supports both Docker and Windows IIS • Great for developers wishing to get started quickly with low interest in the underlying infrastructure Option 3: Use Docker as a Service • Use the AWS EC2 Container Service (ECS) with full native Docker support • Great for engineers who want full access to the underlying core infrastructure
In Summary: 1. Microsoft is Making Cross Platform Development Easier 2. The .NET Core Runtime has been Open Sourced 3. Existing .NET and Greenfield Applications can run in Docker • Under Mono and .NET Core run-time environments 4. AWS Supports your Journey in a Number of Ways here 5. Speak to Your Friendly AWS Solution Architect ☐✔ ☐✔ ☐✔
