Container Integration

Container Support will be available in preview around the first half of 2016, Service Fabric will support Windows, Hyper-V, and Docker containers. There will be two levels of integration:

• Bring your own container: In this scenario, Service Fabric will handle containers the same way as custom applications. The service manifest defines all the settings, such as image, ports, volumes, and others that are needed to launch a container. In this scenario, Service Fabric becomes a first-class orchestrator for containers.

• Develop and package Service Fabric services inside containers. In this scenario, developers will be able to create new stateful and stateless services and package them inside a container.
