To deploy an application to Azure Container Apps
- Log into the Azure Portal at http://portal.azure.com
- In the top search bar search for container apps and select Container Apps in the list
- Click the arrow next to Create and select Container App
- Create a new Resource Group if needed, enter the app name (all lower case characters), select the Region. Select the environment, or click the Create new environment link. The West US 3 is the newest region in the west, located in Phoenix, Arizona, and provides Availability Zone support. Although West US is located in California, but does not provide availability zone support. Availability zone support offers very important redundancy within the same region in case of network and power outage, and natural disasters. The data transfer between availability zones within the same region is free, and many services can utilize the redundancy.
- Enter the environment name, and select the zone redundancy, and click the Create button. For non mission critical apps the zone redundancy is usually not necessary, as it doubles the infrastructure cost.
