The following articles are available for learning about hosting ASP.NET Core apps in Docker:
[Introduction to Containers and Docker](/dotnet/standard/microservices-architecture/container-docker-introduction/index)
See how containerization is an approach to software development in which an application or service, its dependencies, and its configuration are packaged together as a container image. The image can be tested and then deployed to a host.
[What is Docker](/dotnet/standard/microservices-architecture/container-docker-introduction/docker-defined)
Discover how Docker is an open-source project for automating the deployment of apps as portable, self-sufficient containers that can run on the cloud or on-premises.
Learn terms and definitions for Docker technology.
[Docker containers, images, and registries](/dotnet/standard/microservices-architecture/container-docker-introduction/docker-containers-images-registries)
Find out how Docker container images are stored in an image registry for consistent deployment across environments.
[Visual Studio Tools for Docker](xref:host-and-deploy/docker/visual-studio-tools-for-docker)
Discover how Visual Studio 2017 supports building, debugging, and running ASP.NET Core apps targeting either .NET Framework or .NET Core on Docker for Windows. Both Windows and Linux containers are supported.
[Publish to a Docker Image](/azure/vs-azure-tools-docker-hosting-web-apps-in-docker)
Find out how to use the Visual Studio Tools for Docker extension to deploy an ASP.NET Core app to a Docker host on Azure using PowerShell.
[Configure ASP.NET Core to work with proxy servers and load balancers](xref:host-and-deploy/proxy-load-balancer)
Additional configuration might be required for apps hosted behind proxy servers and load balancers. Passing requests through a proxy often obscures information about the original request, such as the scheme and client IP. It might be necessary to forwarded some information about the request manually to the app.
