-Important Note on Database Servers/Containers: In this solution, the SQL databases are automatically deployed with sample data into a single SQL Server for Linux container (a single shared Docker container for SQL databases) so the whole solution can be up and running without any dependency in the cloud or server. A similar case is defined in regards Redis cache running as a container. However, in a real production environment it is recommended to have persistance (SQL Server and Redis) in HA services like Azure SQL Database, Redis as a service or any other clustering system. If you want to configure this solution like that, you'll just need to change the connection strings once you have set up the servers in the cloud or on-premises. + +> ### Important Note on Database Servers/Containers +> In this solution's current configuration for a development environment, the SQL databases are automatically deployed with sample data into a single SQL Server for Linux container (a single shared Docker container for SQL databases) so the whole solution can be up and running without any dependency in the cloud or server.
