Azure Container Apps now supports Service Connector. Service Connector is an Azure solution that helps you connect Azure compute services to backing services in just a few steps. Service Connector manages the configuration of the network settings and connection information between compute and target backing services, so you don't have to think about it. To view all supported target services, [learn more about Service Connector](../service-connector/overview.md#what-services-are-supported-in-service-connector).
