To start with Azure Container Instance, we will need to install Azure CLI tool, which is a tool to manage Azure from the command line.
I installed Azure CLI on my Mac OS EI Capitan
brew update && brew install azure-cli
then encountered this error:
Follow the instruction to install Xcode Command Line tools
Click on Install and agree with the agreement
It will take a while to download
Run again
brew update && brew install azure-cli
The following dependencies will be installed:
openssl, sqlite, gdbm, python3
Once finished, use the following command to login to your azure account.
az login
Follow the instruction to login from browser
Once done, you can close the browser window
Then you will be able to see your subscription from the command line
Then run the following command to create a new resource group
az group create –name testACI –location eastus
Then run
az container create –name simpleservice –image magneticio/simpleservice:1.0.0 –resource-group testACI –ip-address public –port 3000
to create a service
You can always run the following command to see the service detail
az container show –name simpleservice –resource-group testACI
Find ip address and port number from the output
Now try to browse it from the browser
