I had the pleasure of giving a session on extending office add-ins with the Azure Container Service. ACS optimizes the configuration of popular open source tools and technologies specifically for Azure. This open solution offers portability for both your containers and your application configuration.

What’s this session about?

In this session I explained what docker is and how we can use this new Container As A Service on top of our traditional virtual machines. I also showed how to leverage the docker platform for add-ins in Office 365. When building microservices in this CAAS model we can build more scalable, secure and reliable applications.

Recap

I enjoyed giving this session. It was quite a change pre-recording a session. It reminds me that I really don’t like the sound of my own voice 😊 But I guess that’s something that everybody has. A big thanks to Mark Jones and his team for giving me the chance to participate in this world wide event and to make it run so smoothly. It must not be easy organizing an event this size.
