Summary

In this chapter, we have provided an overview of the services that Microsoft Azure has to offer when it comes to running containers. On a high level, you have learned what these services do and what their purpose is. We can run containers with a very small footprint on very accessible services such as Azure App Service and ACI, but we can also go for an enterprise-grade scenario by using Azure Container Apps or Azure Kubernetes Service.

What we have learned is that containers in general are not that different from traditional hardware virtualization; we’re just doing things more efficiently.

There are many flavors, each with a different set of use cases. And even though you might already have a favorite service based on what we have described in this chapter, please be patient and let us guide you through each service while uncovering what they really have to offer, how they work, and what you need to do to get started.

In the next chapter, we will start by diving into the world of containers on Azure App Services and gradually move on to the more complex features in the chapters that follow. Now that you have been introduced to what container services the Azure landscape is comprised of, let’s get technical.
