Deploying Docker Compose containers in ACI

We discussed ACI in the Deploying a container to ACI with a CI/CD pipeline section.

Now, we will learn how to execute containers with Docker Compose configuration in ACI to run a set of containers that are on the same application services.

For this lab, we will use the same Docker Compose configuration we learned in the Using Docker for running command-line tools section. The only difference is that the running port on the nginx service is 80 instead of 8080, which we used locally (because my port 80 is already used by another service).

For deploying containers on ACI, we will perform the following steps:

1. Inside our Azure subscription, we will create a new resource group called rg-acicompose.
2. Then, in the console terminal, run the following Docker command to log in to Azure:

   docker login azure

The execution of this command opens a window that allows us to authenticate ourselves to our Azure subscription.
