To make it easy for you to deploy your application to Azure, we’ve built a container that has the AzureCLI installed. We will set up a simple example, showing you how to configure any deployment to Azure. If you don’t have Docker yet, you can get it here.
With the command docker pull microsoft/azure-cli, you get the latest container:
With the command docker run -it microsoft/azure-cli, you will start the container:
Now you have the latest Azure CLI in a Docker container:
From inside the Microsoft Docker container, we will make a connection to an Azure subscription. If you don’t have a Microsoft Azure subscription, you can get your free Azure trial subscription here.
My Microsoft Docker container is running:
With the command azure login, you will start the login process:
Copy the URL https://aka.ms/devicelogin in your browser:
Copy your code from the container login into the Device login, and click on Continue for Microsoft Azure cross-platform CLI login:
Log in with your Microsoft Azure account:
Done!
The Microsoft Docker container with the latest Azure CLI is now connected with your Azure subscription:
From here you, can do continuous delivery to Microsoft Azure with Docker and #Code:
With the command azure lab, you see that I can manage my Azure Dev/Test LAB from my Docker container:
Here you see my Container01 in JamesTestLAB in Azure:
With the command azure vm start, we run the Azure Container01:
Now the Azure Container01 is running and started from a Microsoft Docker container with Azure CLI:
