Summary

In this chapter, you learned the key aspects of Docker storage on Windows: using volumes and bind mounts. With the help of Azure, you successfully set up your Azure Files SMB share, which can be used to store container state data using SMB global mappings. Last but not least, you wrapped all this up by setting up your own three-node MongoDB ReplicaSet backed by Azure Cloud storage and verified your setup!

The next chapter will be the last one to focus purely on Docker on the Windows platform. You can expect to learn about the fundamentals of how to work with Docker images and how to use them in your application development life cycle. After that, we will be ready to begin our journey with Kubernetes.
