Introduction This is the first part in our (at least) two parts describing how to get started with a hybrid Docker Swarm Mode cluster. In this first part, we will focus on deploying a hybrid cluster on Azure.
Now, you can create yourself a hybrid cluster within any private network where you have a Windows Server 2016 with Containers and a Linux machine - it can be locally, with VirtualBox, Hyper-V or VMWare, or it can be on your cloud provider of choice.

What is this? This is an ASP .NET Core middleware for providing real-time functionality to your applications. To its core, this is a WebSockets middleware for ASP .NET Core applications with TypeScript / JavaScript and .NET clients.
This is an open-source library available (for using and contributing) on GitHub.
Why wouldn’t I use SignalR for real-time? Well, the reason is quite simple: SignalR for ASP .NET Core is still in its very incipient stages.
UPDATE - February 2017 This article describes the latest development of websocket-manager and how to use it in your application.
While the general aspects provided in this article about creating a websockets middleware for Asp .Net Core are still valid, the specific information about the websocket-manager project have changed, since I updated a lot of parts.
The version of the project described in this article can still be found in the blog-article branch on GitHub.
Introduction In this article, we will take the simplest ASP.NET Core application, run it with Docker locally, then create Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment flows using a GitHub repository, Docker Cloud and an Azure virtual machine that will act as a node for Docker Cloud.
If you don’t want to create an ASP.NET Core application but are interested in the CI/CD workflow, or if you already have a GitHub repository with a complete application with a Dockerfile, you might want to skip to the part we start creating the CI/CD workflow.
