+# eShopOnContainers - Microservices Architecture and Containers based Reference Application (**ALPHA state**)
 Sample .NET Core reference application, powered by Microsoft, based on a simplified microservices architecture and Docker containers. It is cross-platform thanks to .NET Core services capable of running on Linux or Windows containers depending on your Docker host.

 The <b>Windows Containers scenario has not been tested</b>, but the application should be able to run on Windows Containers, as well, as the .NET Core services have also been tested running on plain Windows (with no Docker).
 The app was also partially tested on "Docker for Mac" using a development MacOS machine with .NET Core and VS Code installed. However, that is still a scenario using Linux containers running on the VM setup in the Mac by the "Docker for Windows" setup.

 ### Installing and configuring Docker in your development machine
 
 #### Set needed assigned Memory and CPU to Docker
-In this application (Mid-December 2016 version) we run 3 instances of SQL Server running as containers plus 6 ASP.NET Core apps/services and 1 Redis server all of them running as Docker containers. So it's important to set Docker up properly with enough memory RAM and CPU assigned to it or you will get difficult errors when starting the containers with "docker-compose up". 
-Once Docker for Windows/Mac is installed in your machine, enter into its Settings and the Advanced menu option so you are able to adjust it to the new values (Memory: Around 7GB and CPU:4) as shown in the image. Usually you might need a 16GB or 12GB memory machine for this configuration. If you have a less powerful machine, you can try with a lower configuration and/or by not starting certain containers like the basket and Redis. But if you don't start all the containers, the application will not fully function properly, of course.

-###Try it out:
-You can download and build the app's source as-is, preconfigured to consume our Azure service instance. 
-
 ###Supported platforms: iOS, Android and Windows
 
 ###The app architecture consists of two parts:
   1. A Xamarin.Forms mobile app for iOS, Android and Windows.
-  2. A .NET Web API-backed Entity Framework based Azure Mobile Service for data.
-
-**The Azure Mobile Service does not need to be deployed by you.** There is already an instance of the service up and running in Azure, and the mobile app is configured by default to consume that service instance. We've included the code for the service so that you may run your own service instance on Azure if you'd like. 
+  2. Several .NET Web API microservices deployed as Docker containers.
