Getting started

Login to Azure

az login 

Upgrade Azure CLI and install the latest containerapp cli extension

az upgrade 

az extension add --name containerapp --upgrade

Register the following namespaces if not already registered for your subscription

az provider register --namespace Microsoft.App

az provider register --namespace Microsoft.OperationalInsights

Set necessary env variables. Make sure to target a location supported for container apps

RG='your-rg-name'
LOCATION='your-preferred-location'
GITHUB_USERNAME='your-gh-username'

Clone the API code

For this sample, we will be deploying a simple front end with a backend API to Azure Container Apps using the az containerapp up command. Navigate to the following repo and fork.

Retrieve the necessary command to clone to your local machine. The command should look something like the following:

git clone https://github.com/$GITHUB_USERNAME/containerapps-albumapi-csharp.git code-to-cloud

Replace the variables with your GitHub username and the app language you would like to use. This command will clone the code into a directory called code-to-cloud.

Change your directory to ensure you are pointed at the newly cloned repo

cd code-to-cloud

DELETE the dockerfile :)

Let's experiment with one of the new capabilities of the az containerapp up command. Recently, support was added for deploying from repos without a dockerfile present. Let's test it out and see how it works! Delete the file called dockerfile from the repository.

Deploy the Album API to Azure Container Apps

Deploy an Azure Container App for the Album API

az containerapp up --name album-api --source ./src -g $RG -l $LOCATION

• Creates a resource group.
• Creates an Azure Container Registry and an ACR task.

• Creates an Azure Container Apps environment.
• Builds a container image and pushes it to the container registry.
• Creates an Azure Container App.
• Deploys the container to the container app.

Enable ingress

 az containerapp ingress enable -n album-api -g $RG --type external --target-port 8080 --transport auto
