Microservices and Windows apps

Microservices is a lot I hear, particularly in the cloud computing world, is there any relevance to Windows server apps?

Potentially, sure. It is all up to the developer.

Ok- so Still developer focused. Its' not like we can take COTS apps and "containerise" them?

Thanks for the replies.

So to confirm my understanding - with Microservices (or Docker/Containers) these are really concepts to be utilised most by developers, rather than infrastructure architects (i.e. those that implement vendor solutions)?
In a windows shop, yes. Linux has had containers a bit longer and I.T. is slightly ne likely to be responsible for continued care and feeding of a container once it has been deployed. I also expect this to become true in Windows, but windows has only had container support for a few months, so there isn't widespread "in production" workloads of that nature.
