Containerizing a Web Application and Deploying it to Azure with Azure Container Apps

Spread the love



In a recent project, I successfully deployed a web application to Azure using Azure App Service. For today’s project, I decided to deploy the same web application but using Azure Container Apps. I followed a series of steps to achieve this:

First, I cloned the 2048 game repository and created a Dockerfile with the necessary configurations to build the Docker image. I also created a nginx.conf file to customize the Nginx server settings. After building and testing the Docker image locally, I proceeded to create a resource group and a container registry in Azure.

Next, I logged in to the Container Registry, tagged the Docker image, and pushed it to the registry. I then created an Azure container application environment and deployed the container application using the Azure CLI commands provided. Once the deployment was complete, I validated the application by checking the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) and accessing the application through a browser.

Overall, I successfully deployed the 2048 game using Nginx in a Docker image to Azure Container Registry and deployed it using Azure Container Apps. This setup allows for easy management and scalability of applications using Azure services.
