In the previous chapter, we covered the first part of the Create and Deploy Apps objective by learning how to create web apps using PaaS. Here, we covered the Azure App Services and App Service plans. We also created a web app and looked at Web Apps for Containers. 

In this chapter, we are going to learn how to design and develop apps that run in containers by implementing an application that runs on an Azure Container Instance, creating a container image using a Dockerfile, and publishing it to Azure Container Registry. Then, we are going to manage the container settings from code and configure diagnostic settings for the resources. Finally, we are going to create an Azure Kubernetes Service.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

• Understanding Azure Container Instances
• Implementing an application that runs on an Azure Container Instance
• Creating a container image by using a Dockerfile
• Publishing an image to the Azure Container Registry
• Understanding Azure Kubernetes Service
• Creating an Azure Kubernetes Service
