Enabling Dapr support in Azure Container Apps

Azure Container Apps is a service from Azure that is a fully managed serverless container service for building and deploying cloud-native apps and microservices. You will learn more details about Azure Container Apps in Chapter 4.

In this chapter, you will learn about creating an Azure container app, deploying container images, and enabling Dapr support. So, let’s get started:

  1. To create the container app, open the Azure portal and click on the Create a resource button. As we already know, it is a best practice to create a resource group before we create Azure resources, so first, we will be creating an Azure resource group. Then, click on the Create button inside the resource group and search for Container App.
  2. Container apps require a Container Apps Environment, which acts as a boundary between different container apps. On the Create Container App screen, you need to provide the container app’s name, resource...
