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.
