Azure + Docker
Containerize, scan, and ship workloads on Azure with confidence.
We containerize applications for Azure Container Registry, Container Apps, and AKS — multi-stage Dockerfiles, image signing, and CI/CD pipelines that promote immutable tags through dev, staging, and production with health checks and rollback baked in.
Plan Docker on AzureWhy Docker on Azure
Containers standardize how apps run across environments; Azure provides registry, hosting, and automation without maintaining your own datacenter fabric.
Portable Workloads
Same image from laptop to Container Apps or AKS reduces environment drift.
Supply Chain Security
ACR tasks, Defender scanning, and signed images before production deploy.
Faster Releases
Immutable tags and automated pipelines replace manual server configuration.
Efficient Hosting
Container Apps scale to zero; AKS right-sizes node pools for steady workloads.
Docker on Azure Reference Architecture
From Dockerfile to production hosting and observability on Azure.
Build
Multi-Stage Dockerfiles
Minimal runtime images with non-root users and pinned base image digests.
ACR Build Tasks
Cloud builds on commit with vulnerability scan gates before push.
Registry
Azure Container Registry
Private repos, geo-replication, and retention policies per team.
Artifact Signing
Notation or cosign attestations tied to admission policies where required.
Runtime
Azure Container Apps
Serverless containers with KEDA autoscale and internal ingress between services.
AKS (optional)
Kubernetes when you need cluster-level APIs, operators, or multi-tenant platforms.
Delivery
CI/CD Pipelines
GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps promoting semver tags with smoke tests.
Application Insights
OpenTelemetry exporters from containers for traces and custom metrics.
What We Build with Docker on Azure
Containerization and deployment services from first Dockerfile to fleet operations.
Application Containerization
Dockerize .NET, Node, Python, and Java apps with health endpoints and config via env.
ACR & Pipeline Setup
Registry topology, service connections, and branch-based build policies.
Container Apps Migration
Move VM or App Service workloads to Container Apps with minimal downtime.
Image Hardening
Distroless or Alpine bases, CVE remediation, and admission policy compliance.
Rollback & Blue-Green
Revision-based rollbacks on Container Apps and slot patterns on connected App Service.
Azure Services in the Docker Stack
Azure services that complete the container lifecycle from build to run.
Azure Service
Role in stack
- Azure Container Registry
Stores and scans images; integrates with AKS, Container Apps, and CI agents.
- Azure Container Apps
Runs Docker images with autoscale, secrets, and Dapr without managing nodes.
- Azure Kubernetes Service
Orchestrates containers when platform teams need Kubernetes features.
- Azure DevOps / GitHub Actions
Build, test, push, and deploy pipelines with environment approvals.
- Microsoft Defender for Cloud
Registry vulnerability assessment and runtime threat detection.
- Azure Key Vault
Pull secrets, app configuration, and certificates for container hosts.
How We Deliver Docker on Azure
Container practices that improve security, speed, and operability.
- 1
Image Standards
Documented Dockerfile templates, label schema, and max image size budgets.
- 2
Immutable Deployments
Deploy by digest or immutable tag — never mutable latest in production.
- 3
Config Separation
12-factor env vars and App Configuration — no secrets baked into images.
- 4
Local Parity
docker-compose or Dev Containers mirroring Azure dependencies for developer speed.
- 5
Runbook-Driven Ops
Restart, scale, and rollback procedures tested in staging quarterly.
Docker on Azure Questions
- Container Apps is fastest for most microservices without Kubernetes expertise. AKS fits platform teams running many services with shared cluster policies and GitOps.
