Some basic settings

Deploy an image

I will deploy the image I created on my new ACR.

The images I have already stored in Docker on my local

I will tag the image that I want to deploy using the name structure:

<acr.name>.azurecr.io/<repository_name>:1.0

I will do this using the command:

docker tag docker-hello-world_backend alberto.azurecr.io/development/docker-hello-world_backend:1.0

The tagged image ready for being pushed on the ACR

I will login on my ACR:

docker login alberto.azurecr.io

I will then push the newly tagged image:

docker push alberto.azurecr.io/development/docker-hello-world_backend:1.0

The image will now be available in the ACR

Summary

If you are interested to how I create that image, look at:

docker-compose up
