A similar setup can be achieved for a private cloud using TFS 2015. Windows Containers can be built and publishing using a continuous integration and deployment pipeline built using VSTS. Docker extension for VSTS uses Linux machines to build and create images which cannot be used to build Windows Container images. As of today, we should create a Windows agent using Windows Server 2016 to build and publish Docker images. Configuring CI and CD enables faster releases and tested builds using automation.

Beginning DevOps with Docker

Beginning DevOps with Docker

Making sure that your application runs across different systems as intended is quickly becoming a standard development requirement. With Docker, you can ensure that what you build will behave the way you expect it to, regardless of where it's deployed. By guiding you through Docker from start to finish (from installation, to the Docker Registry, all the way through to working with Docker Swarms), we'll equip you with the skills you need to migrate your workflow to Docker with complete confidence.
