Additional Information on Using Containers for COBOL Application Deployment

All of the concepts that are outlined in this section are illustrated in the container demonstrations. These demonstrations are supplied with COBOL Server and illustrate how to build a range of images to perform different tasks, from being used as a base image for running COBOL Server to debugging a sample application. See Container Demonstrations for a list of all of the supplied container demonstrations.

For more information see:

• Building a Base Image Containing COBOL Server for a description of how to create a base image that includes COBOL Server.
• Building an Image Containing an Application to Run Under COBOL Server for a description of how to extend the COBOL Server base image with applications of your own to run under COBOL Server.
• The Container Demonstration for the COBOL Server Base Image for a look at the container demonstration files supplied with COBOL Server that show how to create a base image for Visual COBOL Build Tools for Windows.
• The Hello World Container Demonstration for a look at how the container demonstration files supplied with COBOL Server extend the Visual COBOL Build Tools for Windows base image with an application that you can debug, test, or run.
