So I'm starting to experiment with Docker in Server 2016 / Windows 10 AE; we're a development shop (I"m on the infrastructure/engineering side) and I see the potential for seriously helping out our development team in spinning up environments for testing/troubleshooting/development. Awesome.

I have some questions - Windows-centric (but likely have similar concepts on the Linux side).

- Is there a book someone can recommend that covers a lot of the conceptual broad strokes
There's a ton of presentations and other videos on official Docker Youtube channel, including a pretty solid tutorial series. Give it a try. The version it's talking about is somewhat old by now, a few things like networking have meanwhile changed for the simpler.

- For doing a build via dockerfile; when is that executed? e.g. I'm looking at a dockerfile that installs SQL server; does that get run when you build from the dockerfile, or when the container is run?
When you build. The CMD / ENTRYPOINT statements dictate what is being run (by default) when the container is run.

- Is there a recommended workflow for getting data into containers in a reliable way? I'm looking to have a container that pulls from a SQL server backup file; is this best done in the dockerfile, or elsewhere?
I believe most commonly you'd want to keep data out of the containers, and instead use volumes, which can be shared with the host, or other containers.
