Inside SQL Server Containers
Bob Ward · Apress eBooks · 2019
When I thought about how I would approach this chapter, I thought about only talking about what is new for containers for SQL Server 2019. While that alone would be worth a chapter, I decided to go bigger and be more inclusive to talk about the concept of containers, why it is important as a new way of deploying SQL server, and of course what are new capabilities for containers with SQL Server 2019. I could write an entire book on containers so you will not walk away from this chapter with an exhaustive knowledge on the subject. There are many great resources on containers (one I still find value is still !) to supplement this chapter. My goal for this chapter is to give you enough information about containers to see how SQL Server containers work and why you should consider using them. I do promise you will leave this chapter understanding how to deploy, manage, and use SQL Server containers.
