After this training day you can run containerised applications on Azure Container Apps. You connect Azure Container Registry securely to your container app, automate delivery with Azure Pipelines and manage revisions, traffic splitting and scaling without running a Kubernetes cluster yourself. The course suits DevOps engineers and developers who already know containers and CI/CD and want a lean route for cloud-native apps on Azure, or who are preparing for the Applied Skills assessment.
What you’ll take away.
- Compare container hosting options in Azure and place Azure Container Apps among them
- Set up a secure connection between Azure Container Registry and a container app
- Create and configure container apps and deliver them continuously with Azure Pipelines
- Control revisions, traffic splitting and scaling rules
