Docker Compose Locally

What is this?

Docker Compose Locally 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.

# Docker Compose Locally
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

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

Remember

You can explain Docker Compose Locally simply. You practiced one Azure action. You know a cost or security risk.

Docker Compose Locally in CloudVerse

Your team applies docker compose locally while building on Azure.

Outcome: A concrete portal/CLI next step exists.

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.
