Windows in containers, why did we do it? How could we have done it better? Should we have done it?
This is a story of my journey on how and why we implemented windows containers and what we could have done differently if given the chance of a redo.
We had a vision… a self service platform where developers can just code and push there code to the platform without having to worry about stuff like governance, security, scaling, change management and observability. What did this vision include you ask, well of course all and any workloads. As engineers we all know that anything is possible give enough money and time, so we made the decision to push forward and start building a platform to support windows containers.
What happened next and how could we have made better decisions? That is what I want to explore and try and communicate to the audience so they can avoid same pitfalls.
I will still have technical aspects to talk about but will be more focused on the journey of how we got here and the decisions that where made on the way.

LAST is Australia's cross-functional conference. Rather than retreat to our trade and talk among our peers-in practice we want LAST to be a place where people can learn about the holistic process of product and service development, growing organisations, boosting our own skills and careers and thinking about how what we do works with wider society.
This conference is also about learning and sharing with our colleagues. Over the years we have come to value the following things;
- Interactive sessions over presentations
- Specific tools and techniques over general frameworks
- Learning from mistakes and failures over sharing sanitised success stories
- Diversity of content over following industry best practices
- Evidence based approaches over novel ideas
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
