The Docker Azure integration with Azure Container Instances provided limited ability to use docker compose to deploy multi container applications. We needed to run multi-container applications and decided to use docker compose.
Azure Context was used to execute docker commands with Azure Container Instances. However, the only Docker Compose commands currently available in an ACI context are docker compose up and docker compose down. Following were the issues that we faced while using the ACI Context:
Docker ACI integration provided no ability to scale services (Equivalent of docker compose up --scale)
We needed to run several containers with the same configuration, and although this can be accomplished with the --scale docker compose option, the Docker Azure Integration did not provide this.
Service Credential Configuration
There was no ability to specify private container registry credentials
No ability to stop the containers without destroying the resources (Equivalent of az container stop)
