Deploy Containerized Apps to Azure Container Apps

Intermediate15 minTrending

Deploy and scale container images on Azure Container Apps with built-in ingress, scaling rules, and revision management.

Prerequisites

-Azure CLI installed
-containerapp CLI extension installed
-Container image in a registry

Steps

Install the Container Apps extension

Ensures the latest Container Apps CLI extension is installed.

$ az extension add --name containerapp --upgrade

Create a Container Apps environment

The environment is a secure boundary around a group of container apps that share networking and logging.

$ az containerapp env create --name myenv --resource-group myapp-rg --location eastus

Deploy a container app

Creates a publicly accessible container app with auto-scaling between 1 and 5 replicas.

$ az containerapp create --name myapi --resource-group myapp-rg --environment myenv --image mcr.microsoft.com/k8se/quickstart:latest --target-port 80 --ingress external --min-replicas 1 --max-replicas 5

Use --ingress internal for apps that should only be reachable within the environment.

Set scaling rules

Scales out when concurrent HTTP requests per replica exceed 50.

$ az containerapp update --name myapi --resource-group myapp-rg --scale-rule-name http-rule --scale-rule-type http --scale-rule-http-concurrency 50

View app logs

Streams real-time logs from the running container app.

$ az containerapp logs show --name myapi --resource-group myapp-rg --follow
