Quickstart: Deploy your first container app using the Azure portal

In this quickstart, you use the Azure portal to create an Azure Container Apps environment and deploy your first container app.

Container Apps provides a way to run microservices and containerized applications on a serverless platform. With Container Apps, you can enjoy the benefits of running containers while leaving behind the concerns of manually configuring cloud infrastructure and complex container orchestrators.

Prerequisites

  • An Azure account with an active subscription. If you don't already have one, you can create an account for free.

  • The Microsoft.App resource provider registered in your Azure subscription.

Setup

Begin by signing in to the Azure portal.

Create a container app

To create your container app, start at the Azure portal home page.

  1. In the top search bar, search for Container Apps.

  2. In the search results, select Container Apps.

  3. Select Create > Container App.

Configure basic information

On the Basics tab, take the following steps:

  1. Under Project details, take the actions listed in the table:

    Setting Action
    Subscription Select your Azure subscription.
    Resource group Select Create new and enter my-container-apps.
    Container app name Enter my-container-app.
    Optimize for Azure Functions Leave the checkbox unselected. Select it only if you want to create a function app.

Clean up resources

If you're not going to continue to use this application, you can delete the container app and all the associated services by removing the resource group.

  1. In the Azure portal, go to the Overview page for your container app. Under Essentials, select the my-container-apps resource group.

  2. On the resource group Overview page, select Delete resource group.

  3. In the Delete a resource group dialog, enter the resource group name, my-container-apps.

  4. Select Delete, and then confirm your selection.

    The process to delete the resource group can take a few minutes to finish.
