Summary

The purpose of this section is to talk about the differences between the different types of Azure Container Offerings.

1. Web App for Containers

Key Points

  • Easy to use, quick to get up & running
  • Don't need to worry about understanding Container Orchestartion yet
  • Focused on helping customer get started with Containers (think Crawl & Walk)
  • Becomes hard to manage at real large scale, think 100's or 1000's of Containers

AWS & GCP Counterparts

  • AWS = Elastic Beanstalk Kind Of
  • GCP = Google App Engine (GAE)

2. Azure Container Registry (ACR)

Key Points

  • It is a Private Container Registry
  • It does not have the same functionality as other registries out there (eg. image management, security built-in)

AWS & GCP Counterparts

  • AWS = EC2 Container Registry
  • GCP = GCP Container Registry

3. Azure Container Instance (ACI)

Key Points

  • It is in Preview today
  • Think Serverless Containers, this is a differentiator today compared to competitors
  • Easy & Quick to spin up a Single Container, not so great at Multiple Containers and Multiple Pods
  • Don't need to worry about underlying Container Orchestrator

AWS & GCP Counterparts

  • None.

4. Azure Container Service (ACS)

Key Points

  • Moving towards Managed K8s (AKS), this is where the industry is moving
  • Have the choice of full control (need to manage) versus fully managed service (patching & upgrading)

AWS & GCP Counterparts

  • AWS = EC2 Container Service
  • GCP = Google Container Engine (GKE)

5. Azure Service Fabric (ASF)

Key Points

  • Microsoft's First Party Opinionated Microservices Platform
  • It is tried and true, runs a large portion of Azure
  • Proven technology, Microsoft has been running it for more than 10+ years
  • Great Microservices Platform for customers that are writing Native Microservices and working with Containers
  • Single Platform for all types of workloads regardless of OS

AWS & GCP Counterparts

  • None.
