Use Azure App Service to deploy a containerized Flask application

There are many services out there that allow you to deploy a container to the cloud. Although a straightforward operation, it is critical to understand how to create a robust automation deployment system. This course will create a Python Flask application from scratch, will containerize it, set the automation for it and then deploy it to Azure.

This course lays out the foundations for creating more powerful containerized applications beyond the simple examples. You can add a Machine Learning model into the container and the end result would be the same: a robust deployment system that can get changes quickly onto Azure with any changes to the main branch.

The continuous deployment system is a game changer as a skill set, making you a far more valuable engineer.
