Want to manage containers in the cloud, but don’t want to spend hours manually building out a cloud infrastructure?

Today we announced Azure Container Apps. Join me for a thread that helps get to know this new Azure service! 🧵#MSIgnite

Azure Container Apps allows you to build public API endpoints, background processing applications, event-driven apps, and microserivices. Oh - and if you want to build microservices Container Apps natively integrates with @daprdev #MSIgnite

To get started, you create a Container Apps environment. Environments create a security context around multiple container apps. Each env features its own virtual network and container apps in the same environment write logs to the same place. #MSIgnite

You can use public or private container registries and use your programming model. Container Apps supports any Linux-based container image and gives you the control to decide how these containers behave. #MSIgnite

Want to run A/B tests or Blue/Green deployments among different revisions of your containers? Here’s how you can split traffic among different revisions and take full control over which revisions are active. #MSIgnite
