Azure Container Apps Skill This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Container Apps. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities. How to Use This Skill IMPORTANT for Agent : Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., L35 L120 ), use read file with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., [security.md](security.md) ), use read file on the linked reference file IMPORTANT for Agent : If metadata.generated at is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If mcp microsoftdocs tools are not available, suggest the user install it: [Installation Guide](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mcp/blob/main/README.md) This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content: Preferred : Use mcp microsoftdocs:microsoft docs fetch with query string from=learn agent skill . Returns Markdown. Fallback : Use fetch webpage with query string from=learn agent skill&accept=text/markdown . Returns Markdown. Category Index Category Lines Description Troubleshooting L37 L52 Diagnosing and fixing common Container Apps issues: deploy/start/exit failures, health probes, image pulls, storage mounts, ports, OCI runtime errors, and using debug console/log tuning. Best Practices L53 L59 Deployment, cold start, and runtime tuning guidance: blue green rollouts, reducing scale out latency, and optimizing Java memory usage in Azure Container Apps. Decision Making L60 L81 Guides for choosing Container Apps hosting, compute, GPUs, and billing models, plus migration and modernization paths from Functions, Heroku, Java/Spring/Tomcat, and organizing environments. Architecture & Design Patterns L82 L87 Architectures and patterns for Java microservices on Azure Container Apps, including Eureka HA clusters, AI enabled PetClinic, and end to end microservice design best practices. Limits & Quotas L88 L94 Quotas, limits, and scaling caps for Container Apps, plus how they behave at those limits and how to request quota increases from Azure support. Security L95 L134 Securing Container Apps: auth (Entra, social, OIDC, mTLS), identities & secrets, certs/domains, network controls (VNet, NSG, firewall, WAF), Dapr security, sandbox/RBAC, and best practices. Configuration L135 L171 Configuring Container Apps environments, networking, ingress, revisions, scaling (KEDA/Dapr/Functions), workload profiles, storage mounts, Java features, and ARM/YAML schemas. Integrations & Coding Patterns L172 L196 Patterns for connecting Container Apps to each other and Azure services, integrating Dapr/Spring/OpenTelemetry, and using code interpreter and dynamic session features. Deployment L197 L206 Deploying and automating Container Apps: CI/CD with GitHub Actions/Azure Pipelines, Docker Compose deployments, Arc enabled Kubernetes, logging migration, and self hosted runners/jobs.
