Azure Container App enables you to run container-based web applications and microservices using a managed serverless platform. It allows you to run multiple container revisions. Container Apps are useful for an organization looking to offload the management of the hosting and security of the container application. The system fully supports the Distributed Application Runtime which makes it easier to cross-communicate between multiple container applications.
The container app lets you manage and publish a new release to the environment using CI/CD mechanism that enables the DevOps team to achieve their goals for continuous release. The apps can scale automatically based on the demand. Although it's easier to upload a docker image to run the app, the integration with Azure Container Registry enables the environment to be fully automated where new releases to the registry automatically update the container app accordingly.
