Hi Adam, it is awesome explanation. I was trying from last couple of days to get good content of azure services and I feel your video is one of the best. Thanks for your efforts it helps a lot.
Love you man, I was so mad for the last 3 days. couldn't find a single person who actually shows what containers actually look like or what they are. Everybody was just telling the benefits and features of it but new guys who are not familiar with coding, have no idea what are they talking about not even Microsoft docs. But thanks man, God give you a long happy life,
Thanks for the crash course on Azure Container Instances, Adam. You are awesome!
Excellent work. Thanks Adam. 😀
Hi Adam, well structured and understandable, helped a lot! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I love your lessons, Adam!
Great content with wonderful quick demos ! Thank you. Keep doing 👍
Thanks, will do!
Another great job. Thanks, Adam.
My pleasure!
Really enjoyed that Adam , I will try and put into practice now.
Fantastic!
Thanks Aadam.Very nice azure container service. You are rocking in AZURE.
Thank you! :)
Thanks, Adam for the great information!
My pleasure!
That was really amazing, thank you!
Thanks Adam, well explained.
Getting started. Very helpful video
Explanation is really good 👍 Thank you!!!
Perfect video. Thanks Adam.
My pleasure!
Adam believe me or not Your channels is my first preference for azure notes , I like your video and you explaining the concept with practical is great help for me to prepare for the exam.
Awesome! Cheers mate :) Glad to hear that :)
Hi this is a awesome introduction . Please continue the series, it will be very helpful
Thank you, I will :)
@@AdamMarczakYT you make the life of azure developers very smooth. Thanks 😊 If possible please start Azure 204 complete series in udemy, will buy it for sure
very nice adam. thank you very much
Thanks Adam, really nice video :)
Thanks, Adam learned a lot from your videos
A to the point and such insightful video ❤️👍
Hi, I really enjoy watching your videos. Would it be possible for you to find time to create some videos for advanced scenarios in Container Apps and AKS running microservices?
I didn't watch the video but just for the quality of the description it must be very good, I saved it to watch later
Hope you enjoyed it!
Excellent explanation..no clutter
Thanks a lot :)
Great info man! Thanks!
you are my go to resource. . :D thank you very much.
Grate explanatory video 👏. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Nice presentation.
Very nice and really very helpful. thanks 👍🏻
My pleasure 😊
Thank you , this is really helpful. I was in doubt on how & what container runtime is running bts of ACI , got the answer .
Thankyou so much...well explained
Most welcome 😊
very informative..simpler than docker tool
Glad it was helpful! :)
Hi, Adam thank you for your lessons. Can you tell me on 7:11 Image name from where do you copy the URL for the image?
Adam, you have a great way of explaining stuff. Good job buddy. Your channel is one stop place for Azure.
Had a query, Can we use Azure containers for ETL with Pentaho. Can you suggest me how we can run etl jobs with ACI
Thanks, appreciated. Well I don't know that tool but if you want you can schedule batch jobs in ACI and orchestrate tasks using Logic Apps.
Nice explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
excellent !! thank you
Nice explanation.. pls post more videos of azure services
Thanks, I will for sure!
Hey Adam,
Thanks a lot for the great explanatory videos.
Can you please provide the complete architecture of web application using ARM templates.
and application deploys into AKS.
Thanks for watching. AKS is coming up sometime later this year, complete architecture videos are planned for early 2021 :)
Nice and quick demo on ACI. can you also record some level 200 & 300 demos on ACI.
Thanks! I surely want to do more advanced scenarios in the future :)
Good Demo
Hey Adam, Your sessions are awesome. I would like to ask a question, if i cover all your course in youtube channel, will i get good command on Azure Cloud?
My videos are introductionary level so you definitely need to play around more with the services to become an expert. But if you watch my content I promise you will definitely learn a lot!
I would say you would surely get a very good grasp of Azure - even though his channel doesn't cover all the Azure services (which is almost impossible anyways). I'm sure there are a lot of people working with Azure and watching Adam's videos - so you should be on the right path even if you just do half of the content he posted so far haha.
Thanks for the video
Hi Adam, very useful channel, I'm going through your all videos one by one. I would like to know If i'm using a Microservices which is better approach to use.
Thanks! Check this out to help you choose docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/guide/technology-choices/compute-decision-tree
Well done!
Thank you! :)
Hi Adam, I follow all your videos good work !..I have two questions , from where you are getting the git repository to clone once the container is created in Cloud shell ?? will the command populate to register the container image ?? can the same be tried using AzureRM commands ? Please clarify.
Thanks! The git repo is one is Microsoft's sample repos. And yes the command uploads cloned repo contents to ACR and submits task to build image there.
@@AdamMarczakYT thanks Adam.
Excellent
Nice video!, I have a question, if I have a container like jaeger for example that exposes several ports 14250, 14268, 6831, 16686, can I take it to an ACI and access those ports? Thanks
thanks. was helpful.
Hi Adam, I'm a beginner. What's the relationship between ACI and Docker?
great video ! But I have a question: how can I run 2 container in a same Container Group, I see that show up only 1 container and did not see any way to create additional container !
Thanks, here is the example using ARM docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-multi-container-group?WT.mc_id=AZ-MVP-5003556
Hi Adam, helped a lot thanks , how I can use SSL https with azure container instance, please response
What if I wanted to have a container instance I could interact with and make other containers from? Would I need to use PHP?
Nice demo. Also, please post some detailed videos for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
Thanks. AKS is something I have on my mind but there are so many cool videos and so many requests, hopefully I can get this done soon :)
Adams you have gr8 contents but how can one have a practical real world experience on architecture solution on azure..in learning we do alot in bits but am looking forward to begining a project that is end to end kind of
In my Laptop , I created a VM and installed HANA express using a docker container with single instance. I want to understand if I install another application can it differentiated just by a different port number within the same VM ? . in Azure i understand we have 1 container per container instance. If we need multiple we go for AKS correct?
You can have multiple containers within container group (VM). Check this article on how to do it docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-multi-container-group , there are also more ways to do it but this is one of them. And yes you can differentiate them by different ports.
basic question Adam - where u will place the dockerfile which u have mentioned in build command ???
This command uploads the folder to Azure Container Registry to builds the image there.
Another excellent video. The only thing I'd add that actually Docker containers are for Linux only. When we talk about Operating System, actually these are Linux distributions that are totally very much alike, and a Linux VM in itself is extremely light weight. The real benefit of Docker, as far as I can see is absolutely not this container vs VM, instead it's the full-fledged excellent infrastructure including Docker Hub, the Docker CLI, and the wide support from the industry. Honestly, when you run a Linux VM in Proxmox/Hyper-V (or any Type 1 hypervisor) with a heavy Java VM with Tomcat HTTP server vs a Docker image with the same Java VM/Tomcat server, the difference between a Docker image and a VM is marginal, actually. Your explanation at 1:29 is a bit misleading for a newbie, Docker cannot run a Windows image on Linux, no way. In reality Docker is 99.99% a Linux phenomenon. Even Microsoft's own Azure doesn't support Docker images on Windows for Function Apps, for example. Anyhow, excellent content you have, Adam.
I did not explore topic much but windows containers are already supported in production on AWS with docker deamon. Not yet in Azure though. But in general they are very bulky (9GB image size if I remember) and since they are not supported in Azure I'm not very surprised that Microsoft did not create function images, but who knows. In general you are correct, would anyone run something on windows image if it can run on lightweight linux one. Nonetheless, I try for those videos to focus on the Azure service and what it provides rather than technology it uses, just like in a functions video I won't go over why C# is such a nice language :) thanks for such a detailed observations, discussions like this are always enjoyable.
Hi Adam, why only one app on the VM? Is not possible to install more logging there by rdp? Maybe you mean app through Image with OS?
I'm a little lost at 15:09. How did the edits he made get built into that new image? I'm not sure how that code gets referenced anywhere? Like where is demo/custom-image-demo? Was that published in a step that isn't shown?
Great question. At the time you linked I used az acr build command which uploads the content of the demo folder into Azure Container Registry and submits the task to build an image from docker file. All in single command. It's one of the features of ACR.
@@AdamMarczakYT Ah, OK. Thank you very much Adam
You mentioned persistant file storage (volumes), but didn't demo it. I am really struggling on how to setup volumes for my container instance like I can locally with docker containers or docker-compose
Very Nice
Thanks
Great!
Hi @Adam, Can you share few good use cases where we ACI ?
Sure. For simple, adhoc jobs where you don't need container orchestration. With pricing model paid per second it's amazing for small batch jobs. For instance install linux tool for image compression and translation on docker image and then create containers in ACI to process those images adhoc. But there is a lot more scenarios!
Thanks!
Quick question here , according definitions I should consider Containers as SaaS or IaaS ?
IaaS means you manage Operating System, Patches, Middleware, Docker, etc. So answer yourself in this case, do you need to manage those and keep them up to date? In this case the answer is no so this is PaaS :)
Where can I find your script for the word count to find X most common words of minimum length Y?
Hi Adam, Looking for some help to deploy Logic app in a docker container.Can you guide on some links or videos to do the same

hi, Azure containers and Azure apps service allow create scheduled Task(exe) in task manager of windows?
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Hi, I need to create many containers into the same instance. Is it possible?
During the docker run, where is the port mapping being done ?
Could you advise me how i can have two containers linked to a CosmosClient? I'm trying to access them from a js app i'm building
Hey Arthur, you can do this easily. I don't have samples on me but Microsoft has plenty of NodeJs samples for CosmosDB if you just google them.
@@AdamMarczakYT thank you. I didn't find a lot however i simply tried initializing in the CosmosClient constructor three container instances and that worked for me. I'm learning a lot and this container concept is just smooth. Naprawdę to lubię. Dzięki raz jeszcze
No problem. Although you should have only 1 client and use database.container(containerId) to work with different containers as per MS guides.
@@AdamMarczakYT yes. Exactly. That's what I did.
Thanks Adam! But how can I actually do something with that container? Welcome to Azure Container Instances! is not something I want. Is there a way to turn that container instance into something more productive?
Well, this isn't container introduction tutorial. Container is just a packaged application. Azure Container Instances is a hosting platform for those apps. But to make it 'useful' you need to build an application in any language you want. Python/C#/Java/NodeJs/etc. But that wasn't the focus of this tutorial. Also in my opinion hosting a website using NodeJS is a perfectly useful example as it's easy to start adding custom elements on top of that.
@@AdamMarczakYTThanks for the feedback. Yes, of course, a good example; do not misunderstand me your videos are very informative and practical. Do you have a video on how to push developments into an ACI? Thanks.
My best advise is to go through some sort of Docker tutorial to learn how to build locally and then deploy this to Azure Container Instances, Kubernetes Service or App Service. Once you know how to do this manually there are tutorials on how to automate the process with DevOps :)
@@AdamMarczakYT Thank you for your help. So, basically, I can develop my container on a local machine and upload and run it in ACI?
I have a doubt... Where does the " image demo/custom-image-demo:v1 " located ????
is using the portal the only way to connect to a Azure Container Instance? what If I define the ACI in a vNet connected to VPN can I run commands from my Windows cmd ? thanks a lot
what kind of commands? what is your ACI doing?
Hi , how to check the logs of the contianer instance. Becos fr my application when i upload any file, notification shld come. But its not coming.
So in this situation i want to check the logs.plz do help
Please, please can you make a video about where to start your videos for a totally new aspiring azure data engineer? I like your videos but not sure where to start with. I hope you see and answer my question. Thanks.
Any luck going forward?
Thanks.
Ok, but what about storage? How to create mount points?
Thanks
Hello, how many containers may exist in one instance? Thank you
Hey i saw that container instance with one container, container count also 1.... Is it can we create another one container in that same instance...is it possible.
You can create many containers in a single container group :)

Do you have any AZURE moderation,azure migration, it will helpful.
Not yet, maybe in the future :)
thank u
please make tutorial on azure kubernetes service
I might do that, AKS is a big topic so I must think about it still. But it's an extremely popular topics this days :)
Can we execute this batch job with a http request?
Yep. Check this out docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/container-instances/containergroups/start?WT.mc_id=AZ-MVP-5003556
Way over my head!!! Did exactly what you did and I get multiple errors! In 2021 Azure is totally different.
Weird, I think it should still work. I'll get around to check it soon.
hai adam ...very hepful your class ...i have some doubts ..i cant use repeat this command git clone github.com/azure-samples/aci-helloworld.git
destination path 'aci-helloworld' already exists and is not an empty directory.
how can i repeat this command..
Delete the folder then :) Since you already created aci-helloworld cloned folder. Command depends on PowerShell or Linux.
Nice video
Is there possible to install PostgresSQL in the Azure container instance?
You could but it's not advised to contenerize databases, better to use PaaS like PostgreSQL for Azure service.
@@AdamMarczakYT Thanks for reply
Is there any documents to not recommend to container?
We r having requirements to create 100 DB instance ?
We r using micro-service architecture
It's a difficult question. While I don't have Azure related article this one explains this topic a bit cloud.google.com/blog/products/databases/to-run-or-not-to-run-a-database-on-kubernetes-what-to-consider it typically boils down is to a question, is you database engine written for containerization or not
Hi Marc, Container Instances are PaaS?
Who's Mark? ;o
Yes ACI is PaaS.

why start from containers? that's already clear, I'm here for azure particulars
not everyone is familiar with containers, I want to make sure that everyone is on the same page :)
Container (Without OS ) better for small businesses
This is a very hard thing to judge unfortunately. While containers of'course have several benefits over VMs, they do have their drawbacks too. For instance consultants/it professionals who can support containers are way more rare on the market than those who can support your windows/linux VMs. As such it costs more to hire people who can support container based solutions. But I still think they have way more pros than cons! Thanks for stopping by!
BAD tutorial,
1) I NEVER USE AZURE. SO I NEED AN AZURE ACCOUNT. SETTINGS ? HOW ?
2) I USE VS for apps, HOW I CAN publish FROM MY COMPUTER WITH VS TO AZURE, my docker app ?
3) OTHER SETTINGS TO DO ?
4) RUNNING APPS ?
5) UPDATE APP ?
1. This isn't Azure introduction video. This is container instance tutorial.
2. This was presented in the video. (example was shown from cloud shell but can be done from local machine)
3. This was presented in the video. Demo shows all required steps from end to end.
