Deploy Docker Container in Azure using Azure CLI

Description: Here I have explained, How to deploy container in Azure using Azure CLI in Windows client machine 

Pre-requisites:

1. Azure CLI [Download and Install Azure CLI using Link]
2. Azure Subscription 
3. Docker Hub install in  Windows Machine [Download and Install using Link]

Run the Docker Container on ACI

• The first step is to login into Azure using Azure CLI using az login command and it will pop-up for username and password for Azure login
• Once you log in successfully, it will redirect to CMD 
• After logging in to Azure, first, we need to create a list of the Azure ACI context using docker context list command
  Note: Docker has the concept of context, it is the place where you can run the docker containers 
• Create the ACI context using the following

$ docker context create aci servertechaci

Here,
servertechaci: Name of the ACI

• Once we enter the above command it will ask for the subscription, if there is only one then docker uses it. After that need to select Resource Group 

• After creating context you can list it and verify 

Run container on ACI: After creating ACI you can run the container using command or using compose file

• Run container manually: using the below command you can create a container manually

docker --context servertechaci run -d --name web -p 80:80 harpalgohilon/opensource:httpd

Once the container is created successfully, you will receive the container in the list

Also, browse the URL from container Public IP

• Run container using compose file: Below is the compose file to run apache on port 80 using docker image
• Create compose file and save as test.yml

version: '3.8'
services:
  apache2:
      image: harpalgohilon/opensource:httpd
      ports:
        - "80:80"

• Run the compose file using the below command

  docker compose -f test.yml up -d
