2. Containers on Azure Basics

In this chapter, we will lay down the foundation of basic container knowledge that we will need throughout the book. This chapter will start with a comparison of VMs, containers, and processes, and will talk about containers on Azure. We will create an Azure VM with containers on it and use it as our training environment to make ourselves familiar with basic container operations.

In the subsequent chapters, we will expand our container knowledge based on real world examples.
