Options for running containers in Azure
❖ Websites and web apps
❖ Public APIs
❖ Microservices architecture
❖ Backend processing –
scales with external events
+ Host websites, web apps
and APIs

6. @nileshgule
Azure Container Apps
❖Serverless containers for Microservices
❖Build modern apps on open source
❖Focus on apps, not on infrastructure
❖Seamlessly port to Kubernetes

7. @nileshgule
Run Containers at scale
❖Scale with flexible serverless containers
❖KEDA supported scale triggers including Azure Event Hub,
Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL
etc.
❖Robust autoscaling without managing complex
infrastructure
❖Scale to zero and pay only for use by the second

8. @nileshgule
Accelerate developer productivity
❖Build microservices, APIs, event processing workers, and background
jobs using containers.
❖Polyglot programming and accelerate development with built-in
Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr) integration to simplify
common tasks like event processing, pub/sub and service invocation.
❖Streamline application lifecycle tasks such as upgrades and
versioning, traffic shifting, service discovery, and monitoring
❖Setup code-to-cloud pipelines using GitHub Actions.
