Overall Satisfaction with Azure Container Apps

To deploy light weight applications and micro services on Azure where you don’t want to manage the control plane and provide a quick place for developers to deploy and test applications.

Pros

  • Gives user a level of autonomous access
  • No control plane or node pool to manage
  • Less Kubernetes experience required
  • Easily integrate with Azure devops

Cons

  • The deployment process is complicated
  • Learning of Azure cli (command-line interface) for deployment is required
  • Not compatible with other standard CI/CD tools
  • Kind of. Saves management overhead for non critical applications
  • Monitoring is easy
  • Lock-in with Azure which is against the principles of multi-cloud architecture.

Using Azure Container Apps

10 - Mostly business applications are banking applications. It critical applications with no customer data as these applications are hosted on shared infrastructure underneath
2 - Cloud engineering team and container support
  • Light weight applications
  • Developer autonomously deploy applications
  • Quick testing of containers
  • No unexpected use cases
  • Container applications for quick deployment
  • Develop test cars and run those test cases on these applications
I would rather use AKS for my critical applications. The fact that the deployment process is dependent on as cli makes it hard for us to integrate with our standard CI/CD tools.
