Description:

  1. What is Azure Container Apps?
    Azure Container Apps enables building of serverless microservices based on containers, optimized for running general-purpose containers, powered by Kubernetes and open-source technologies, and supporting Kubernetes-style apps and microservices.

  2. What are the distinctive features of Container Apps?
    Container Apps includes features such as service discovery, traffic splitting, event-driven application architectures, support of long-running processes, and running background tasks.

  3. What is the difference between Azure Container Apps and Azure Kubernetes Service?
    Azure Container Apps doesn't provide direct access to the underlying Kubernetes APIs, whereas Azure Kubernetes Service provides direct access to the Kubernetes API and runs any Kubernetes workload.

  4. What is Azure App Service?
    Azure App Service provides fully managed hosting for web applications including websites and web APIs, optimized for web applications, and integrated with other Azure services.

  5. What is Azure Container Instances?
    Azure Container Instances provides a single pod of Hyper-V isolated containers on demand, as a lower-level "building block" option compared to Container Apps, and often interacted with through other services such as Azure Kubernetes Service.

  6. What is Azure Kubernetes Service?
    Azure Kubernetes Service provides a fully managed Kubernetes option in Azure, supporting direct access to the Kubernetes API, and full cluster control and responsibility within your subscription.

  7. What is Azure Functions?
    Azure Functions is a serverless Functions-as-a-Service solution optimized for running event-driven applications using the functions programming model, providing productivity benefits for triggering function execution on events and data source bindings.

  8. What is Azure Spring Apps?
    Azure Spring Apps is a fully managed service for Spring developers, providing infrastructure management for Spring applications, with lifecycle management and other features like monitoring, configuration management, and CI/CD integration.

  9. What is Azure Red Hat OpenShift?
    Azure Red Hat OpenShift is a jointly engineered, operated, and supported solution by Red Hat and Microsoft, providing an integrated product and support experience for running Kubernetes-powered OpenShift, with choices for registry, networking, storage, and CI/CD solutions.

  10. How does Azure Container Apps support event-driven application architectures?
    Azure Container Apps supports event-driven application architectures by enabling scale based on traffic and pulling from event sources like queues, including scale to zero.
