I made my first Docker container just yesterday. I've been working through the Azure training packages and came across the PowerShell module. While that does run on Ubuntu, it's only up to 18.04 - and I'm on 19.10.

I made an image to give me the necessary PowerShell-capable environment so I could complete the training. It was very easy, and I'm still a bit weirded out by how easy it was.

Ha, that's cool! I'm in the Azure stack as well, so for the future I'm looking at ACS and AKS. It IS weird how easy Docker makes it to get an instant environment up and running. Thx for reading :)

Nice post. Thanks for sharing. Always good to remember folks are always learning and everyone is a beginner in something.

It's true! The more you know, the more you don't know squat.

Great post. I've been running nginx, GraphQL and Postgres containers to host Vue applications for a bit now and had no idea of the concept of a virtual network of containers! Very excited!
