The vision for PowerShell Core is to be able to run PowerShell anywhere. In this article, I’m going to discuss how you can use Docker Containers to enable just that. We’ll look at running PowerShell in a container, running cmdlets, running different versions of PowerShell at the same time, and also how to build our own “serverless” computing platform.
Let’s address a few reasons why you would want to run PowerShell in a container.

**This year I have TWO sessions!**
**1. **<a href="http://www.sqlsaturday.com/748/Sessions/Details.aspx?sid=78607">**Monitoring Linux Performance for the SQL Server Admin**</a>
<blockquote>
So you’re a SQL Server administrator and you just installed SQL Server on Linux. It’s a whole new world. Don’t fear, it’s just an operating system. It has all the same components Windows has and in this session we’ll show you that. We will look at the Linux operating system architecture and show you where to look for the performance data you’re used to! Further we'll dive into SQLPAL and how it architecture and internals enables high performance for your SQL Server. By the end of this session you’ll be ready to go back to the office and have a solid understanding of performance monitoring Linux systems and SQL on Linux. We’ll look at the core system components of CPU, Disk, and Memory and monitoring techniques for each.

**2. **<a href="http://www.sqlsaturday.com/757/Sessions/Details.aspx?sid=78317">**Containers – You Better Get on Board**</a>
<blockquote>
Containers are taking over, changing the way systems are developed and deployed…and that’s NOT hyperbole. Just imagine if you could deploy SQL Server or even your whole application stack in just minutes. You can do that, leveraging containers! In this session, we’ll get your started on your container journey learning container fundamentals in Docker, then look at some common container scenarios and introduce deployment automation with Kubernetes. In this session we’ll look at Container Fundamentals with Docker Common Container Scenarios Automation with Kubernetes.

Thanks to everyone who attended the PASS Marathon Containers edition and to PASS for the opportunity to present. I received the Questions from the session and wanted to provide answers to the attendees and the community.
If you want to see the session again, check it out on YouTube. The decks are available online at http://www.centinosystems.com/blog/talks/
Here’s the list of questions from the session and my answers.
What do you mean it is not for production environment in Windows?
