Containers are the next big thing in the world of deployment and DevOps. Two weeks ago, at NDC Oslo 2016, I attended Ben Hall's presentation on Deploying Docker Containers on Windows Server 2016.

Please allow me to introduce you another open-source project called AD Import Service. A tool that keeps your Kentico users and roles in sync with Active Directory. It's a lightweight but very powerful alternative to AD Import Utility.

Let me introduce Kentico's first open-source project - KInspector. It's a tool that helps you keep your Kentico website in good shape by analyzing it and giving you performance, health, and security hints. The cool thing is that it's compatible with multiple versions of Kentico.

The world's largest Q&A platform, Stack Overflow, is a perfect place to get and give online help on any programming topic, including Kentico.
