Resource: Creating Your First Azure Container

Last week Microsoft announced the availability of Azure Containers Instances for Linux on the companies cloud service with the capability arriving for Windows instances in the coming weeks.

With  containers quickly becoming a norm from hyperscale cloud vendors, implementation needs to be straight forward to enable the quick deployment and use of the resource.

To facilitate that on their cloud service, Microsoft has  published a how-to over on their documents portal that takes you through the creation of an Azure Container Instance (ACI).

This document will help you create an ACI and then assigning it a public IP address to make it accessible via the Internet.

Here are the steps in that procedure:

-- Launching the Azure Cloud Shell

-- Creating a Resource Group

-- Creating a Container

-- Pulling Container Logs

-- Deleting the Container

More  tutorials for deploying and using ACIs are available on the Microsoft Azure Documents Portal.

Richard Hay

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
