Container packaging for Azure and local .NET development

Official documentation (opens in a new tab)

Overview

Docker packages ConnectSoft microservices, tools, and local dependencies into reproducible images consumed by Azure Container Apps, AKS, and developer machines. Factory templates ship multi-stage Dockerfiles optimized for .NET 10 publish output, non-root users, and health-check endpoints.

Local Docker Compose stacks spin up SQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, and observability sidecars so feature teams debug against realistic dependencies without shared environment contention. The same images promote through Azure Container Registry with semver tags tied to pipeline builds.

Client engagements on other orchestrators still benefit from our container baselines—security scanning, base image updates, and SBOM practices apply regardless of where images ultimately run.

Containerizing a .NET platform for Azure? Our Docker patterns are pipeline-tested—extend them for your services while keeping build and deploy boringly consistent.

Why we use it:

  • Multi-stage Dockerfiles for .NET 10 ASP.NET Core services
  • Local Compose stacks for SQL, Redis, and messaging dependencies
  • Images published to Azure Container Registry from pipelines
  • Non-root users and health checks for production readiness
  • Same artifacts deploy to AKS, Container Apps, and App Service containers
  • Base image update cadence aligned with security patching
