# Lab 09c: Implement Azure Container Apps
# Student lab manual

## Lab scenario
Azure Container Apps enables you to run microservices and containerized applications on a serverless platform. With Container Apps, you enjoy the benefits of running containers while leaving behind the concerns of manually configuring cloud infrastructure and complex container orchestrators.

## Objectives

In this lab, we will:
- Task 1: Create a container app and environment
- Task 2: Deploy the container app
- Task 3: Test and verify deployment of the container app

Begin by signing in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com).

## Estimated timing: 20 minutes

## Task 1: Create a container app and environment

To create your container app, start at the Azure portal home page.

    | Resource group | Select **Create new** and enter `az104-09c-rg1`. |
    | Container app name |  Enter `my-container-app`. |

#### Create an environment

Next, create an environment for your container app.

1. Select the appropriate region.

    | Setting | Value |
    |--|--|
    | Region | **Your choice**. |

1. In the *Create Container Apps environment* field, select the **Create new** link.

1. Select **OK** and then **Create**. 

1. Click **Next: Container**.

1. Check the box next to **Use quickstart image**.

1. Select the **Review and create** button at the bottom of the page. This step may take a couple of minutes. 

    The settings in the Container App are verified. If no errors are found, the *Create* button is enabled.  

    If there are errors, any tab containing errors is marked with a red dot.  Navigate to the appropriate tab.  Fields containing an error will be highlighted in red.  Once all errors are fixed, select **Review and create** again.

1. Select **Create**.

    A page with the message *Deployment is in progress* is displayed.  Once the deployment is successfully completed, you'll see the message: *Your deployment is complete*.
   
## Task 2: Test and verify deployment of the container app
