I know, there are several good articles about how we can use docker CLI to deploy our workload to Azure ACI. I like to write short articles, it helps me understand the technology.
You can find a good documentation regarding ACI here.
I will deploy a Multi Container application using a docker compose command. Let's do it!
First, Login on Azure using
$docker login azure
Tip: You can use --tenant-id to connect to a specific Azure tenant.
Create a docker context, on my example the name is acideployblog, you need to select the subscription, resource group.
$docker context create aci acideployblog
You will get:
Successfully created aci context "acideployblog"
You can list the docker context with the command
$docker context list
To set the default context
$docker context use acideployblog
To show the current context
$docker context show
Important, you must log in to your Azure Container Registry
$az acr login --name mycontainerregistry
One the directory that I have my docker compose file I run:
$docker compose --file docker-compose.staging.yml --project-name myproject-server-staging u
If you don't put a --project-name the name of your container will be derived from the working directory.
If everything goes right your container group will be create:
You can check the container execution list with the command
$docker ps
