Deploying Serverless Applications with Azure Container Apps

Deploying containerized applications often comes with the overhead of managing complex orchestrators. Azure Container Apps solves this by providing a fully managed, serverless platform that lets you focus on your code rather than the underlying infrastructure. This course guides you through the foundational concepts of serverless containers on Azure, helping you transition from basic container images to production-ready, auto-scaling applications. You will gain a clear understanding of how to configure networking, manage secrets, and implement microservices communication. In this course, you will learn to: 1. Understand the fundamental architecture and core components of Azure Container Apps. 2. Deploy containerized applications from container registries directly to the serverless environment. 3. Configure ingress, secure custom domains, and manage traffic routing. 4. Implement event-driven autoscaling rules using KEDA integrations. 5. Manage application secrets, environment variables, and secure connections. 6. Monitor application performance using integrated Azure observability tools. The course starts with essential container concepts and basic setup before moving into advanced configurations like microservice communication and scaling policies. You will progress through structured text-based explanations, configuration examples, and practical scenarios. This course is designed for software developers, system administrators, and cloud beginners who want to deploy containerized apps easily. No prior experience with Azure Container Apps or Kubernetes is required, though a basic understanding of containers is helpful.
