Azure container apps — Part 1

Almost everyone IT organization adopted the Kubernetes infrastructure and managed services as their platform to run the application irrespective of the demand. with this, Kubernetes has become the basic platform to run the application. At the same time, the complexity of the managing the infrastructure also increased and there is a need of the IT professionals to monitor the infrastructure. One-way Kubernetes provides the platform to run the application with some complexity to manage.

There are companies which they have less IT management human power and their main focus only to support the business-critical applications and just monitor and maintain the platform. For those companies, running a big Kubernetes cluster, managing the security, patches all become a tedious task.

With this problem in mind, Microsoft Azure comes up with managed Container apps which internally runs on the Kubernetes cluster. Since this is a fully managed service and at this point of time it serves minimum capabilities to run the application as managed container services.

There are few critical features that are yet to come like running background jobs, config maps and secret management but those are planned in the upcoming months.

In the next couple of series, we look at deep on the azure container apps and understand how that helps the organization to quickly deploy the apps to azure and also understand the limitations.
