Azure Kubernetes Service: Host ASP.NET Core 3.0 app in Docker Windows Server containers

Kubernetes has production level support for Windows nodes and Windows containers starting v1.14. The preview of Windows Server containers in Azure Kubernetes Service was announced recently and in this article I am going to share steps needed to run Windows containers in AKS.
