Container Networking Basics

Foundations & App Service → Containers & AKS → DevOps & Security → Projects

Foundations & App Service · 1 — Host · ~6 min · Docker on Azure

What is this?

Container Networking Basics is containerization for Azure: images, Dockerfiles, and local verification before cloud.

Why should you care?

Same image should run locally and in ACR/AKS.

See it live — copy this example

Use an Azure lab/free subscription. Prefer Azure CLI or Portal. Delete idle App Service plans, SQL DBs, and AKS clusters when practice is done.

# Container Networking Basics
docker build -t cloudverse-api:local .
docker images
# later: tag + push to ACR

What happened?

Build and list images locally.
Push comes after the image runs.

Practice next

Run the CLI/portal steps in a lab subscription.
Write the resource names you used.
Note estimated monthly cost for the SKU.
Repeat in a second region (conceptually).
Add the resource to a simple architecture diagram.

Remember

You can explain Container Networking Basics simply. You practiced one Azure action. You know a cost or security risk.

Container Networking Basics in CloudVerse

Your team applies container networking basics while building on Azure.

Outcome: A concrete portal/CLI next step exists.

What is a project in Azure DevOps and what resources can it include? Answer: A project in Azure DevOps is like a container for everything related to a specific application or product. It can include: ● Code repositories ● Work items (stories, bugs) ● Pipelines (build/release) ● Test cases ● Artifacts Example: You might have a project named “ShoppingCartApp” that includes its code repo, CI/CD pipeline, and all user stories related to that app.

What are pipeline templates and how are they used? Answer: Templates let you reuse pipeline steps across projects — great for standardization. Example: You can create a reusable file: 📄 .azure-pipelines/build-template.yml steps: - script: dotnet restore - script: dotnet build Then in your main pipeline: extends: template: .azure-pipelines/build-template.yml This keeps your YAML DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) and consistent.
