We can do a lot of things with Windows-based containers...

In this session we will look at the benefits of developing ASP.NET Core Microservices with Dapr. Learn how to use Dapr's versatile building blocks such as state stores, pub-sub events and virtual agents to efficiently implement your microservices architecture. The session will walk you through the details of building these building blocks and demonstrate the use of Docker Compose for local environments as well as Kubernetes for production scenarios. This presentation is tailored for developers...
