Package once.

Scale on Azure.

A six-stop visual journey through containers on Azure — from why Docker packages your app, to storing images in Azure Container Registry, running containers on Azure Container Instances and Azure Container Apps, taking full control with Azure Kubernetes Service, and getting the complete platform with Azure Red Hat OpenShift.

The journey

From your laptop to a cluster

One connected path — package with Docker, store the image, run a single container, scale it serverless, then orchestrate a fleet. Follow it end to end, or jump straight to any stop.
