Docker For Existing Business Central extension

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 481

I first learned Business Central development using a cloud sandbox. Lately, I have been curious as to how Docker can be used when I already have an existing cloud sandbox?

My knowledge of Docker is very theoretical since I haven't found myself in a position to use it as a tool. I get the impression that Docker is a valuable skill to know which is why I am curious in learning its application in Business Central development. I am just having trouble putting together why it is even used for Business Central development.

Can I get some explanations or links to resources that could help me understand this concept/tool further?

    Hi, In addition to some of the virtualization benefits of Docker, I think the most critical point for Partners is the ability to pull the Next Major, and the Next Minor version of BC in Docker, which is very important in AppSource Extension development.

    Hope this helps as well.

    Thanks.
