This is a lot of boilerplate code to do something very basic

[pengowray]

I'm incredibly excited that Microsoft has embraced Docker + Linux and the whole open source ethos with .NET Core, but the amount of boilerplate code to copy, modify and maintain just run a basic command line app in Docker with an argument (as shown here and in the sample application) is enough to make even Java look positively laconic by comparison. I beg you to please look at finding ways to simplify this all in future.

#8619

[spboyer]

@Quole - Perhaps the title of this document does not represent the scenario? The doc here covers a number of things.

• Windows Containers
• Migration of a console application
• Using Powershell to complete all the tasks

There could be an additional doc for a simple "HelloWorld" console application, here we are trying to cover a balance between that and perhaps a more realistic scenario.

Thanks for the issue.
