App

Introduction

Azure App provides the control plane for Azure Container Apps resources, including managed environments. It helps define and manage serverless container infrastructure used by application workloads. These resources are commonly used to prepare the runtime environment where containerized apps are deployed. For more information, see Azure Container Apps overview.

LocalStack for Azure provides a local environment for building and testing applications that make use of Azure App resources. The supported APIs are available on our API Coverage section, which provides information on the extent of Microsoft.App integration with LocalStack.

Getting started

This guide is designed for users new to Azure App resources and assumes basic knowledge of the Azure CLI and our azlocal wrapper script.

Launch LocalStack using your preferred method. For more information, see Introduction to LocalStack for Azure. Once the container is running, enable Azure CLI interception by running:

azlocal start-interception

This command points the az CLI away from the public Azure management REST API and toward the LocalStack for Azure emulator API. To revert this configuration, run:

azlocal stop-interception

This reconfigures the az CLI to send commands to the official Azure management REST API.

Create a resource group

Create a resource group to contain your App resources:

az group create \
  --name rg-app-demo \
  --location westeurope

Output

{
  "id": "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/rg-app-demo",
  "location": "westeurope",
  "name": "rg-app-demo",
  "properties": {
    "provisioningState": "Succeeded"
  },
  ...
}

Create a managed environment

Use the containerapp command group to create App (Microsoft.App) managed environments:

az containerapp env create \
  --name caeappdoc87 \
  --resource-group rg-app-demo \
  --location westeurope

Output

{
  "id": "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/rg-app-demo/providers/Microsoft.App/managedEnvironments/caeappdoc87",
  "location": "West Europe",
  "name": "caeappdoc87",
  "properties": {
    "defaultDomain": "nicesmoke-8bdf22.westeurope.azurecontainerapps.io",
    "provisioningState": "Succeeded",
    "publicNetworkAccess": "Enabled",
    ...
  },
  "type": "Microsoft.App/managedEnvironments",
  ...
}

Show and list managed environments

Show a managed environment:

az containerapp env show \
  --name caeappdoc87 \
  --resource-group rg-app-demo

Output

{
  "id": "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/rg-app-demo/providers/Microsoft.App/managedEnvironments/caeappdoc87",
  "name": "caeappdoc87",
  "properties": {
    "defaultDomain": "nicesmoke-8bdf22.westeurope.azurecontainerapps.io",
    "provisioningState": "Succeeded",
    ...
  },
  ...
}

Create another managed environment and list all environments in the resource group:

az containerapp env create \
  --name caeappdoc88 \
  --resource-group rg-app-demo \
  --location westeurope

az containerapp env list \
  --resource-group rg-app-demo

Output

[
  {
    "name": "caeappdoc87",
    "id": "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/rg-app-demo/providers/Microsoft.App/managedEnvironments/caeappdoc87",
    "properties": {
      "provisioningState": "Succeeded",
      ...
    },
    ...
  },
  {
    "name": "caeappdoc88",
    "id": "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/rg-app-demo/providers/Microsoft.App/managedEnvironments/caeappdoc88",
    "properties": {
      "provisioningState": "Succeeded",
      ...
    },
    ...
  }
]
