Build an image from the Dockerfile in the current directory and tag the image
docker build -t myimage -f Dockerfile .List all images that are locally stored with the Docker Engine
docker ps -aDelete an image from the local image store
docker image rm CONTAINER_NAMEYou may want to remove all orphaned images, you can do this with dandling field
docker rmi $(docker images -f dangling=true -q)Containers are a form of operating system virtualization. A single container might be used to run anything from a small microservice or software process to a larger application. Inside a container are all the necessary executables, binary code, libraries, and configuration files. Compared to server or machine virtualization approaches, however, containers do not contain operating system images. This makes them more lightweight and portable, with significantly less overhead. In larger application deployments, multiple containers may be deployed as one or more container clusters. Such clusters might be managed by a container orchestrator such as Kubernetes.

In this article, I’ll look at possible homegrown API’s within ASP.NET Core, which give you a lot of features without the need to pay third parties.

Continue reading Event Bus Working SampleI came across this guide as it is an introduction to developing microservices-based applications and managing them using containers. It discusses architectural design and implementation approaches using .NET Core and Docker containers. To make it easier to get started with containers and microservices, the guide focuses on a reference containerized and microservice-based application that you can explore. The sample application is available at the eShopOnContainers GitHub repo.

Continue reading The Microsoft Azure Service BusI’ve been using an Event Bus for some time now in the designs of a system, for reason of performance and scalability. There is also an issue with the message size. But it would be best if you were using the Event Bus as a messaging system, not a data transport mechanism.
There is a solution to this, and it is the claim-check pattern.
Continue reading Claim-Check PatternA good API design is important in a system architecture because all data exchange between services happens either through messages or API calls. APIs must be efficient to avoid creating chatty I/O. Because services are designed by teams working independently, APIs must have well-defined semantics and versioning schemes, so that updates don’t break other services.
Continue reading Designing APIsThe world of IT infrastructure has evolved dramatically since the days of relying solely on bare metal hardware to support application development. In the early 2000s, a company called VMWare broke the mould, giving rise to virtualization — using an abstraction that makes software (virtual machines) look and behave like hardware. The primary difference between virtualization and bare metal is the inherent benefit of using software to “virtualize” infrastructure. Virtualization offers increased flexibility, scalability, reliability, and often overall capability and performance, all while lowering capital and operational expenses.
