Designing for serverless computing using Azure Container Instances

Containers are a broadly accepted open standard, and have significantly changed the way applications are developed and deployed. A container is an application packaging and deployment mechanism that simplifies the way we develop and deploy software. With the use of a container, we can add all the different artifacts that make the application run, such as configuration files, databases, and Web APIs, in an isolated package and deploy it everywhere. This eliminates unexpected failures that usually pop up when deploying software to different environments, such as development, test, or production environments. And any further knowledge of those different environments, such as which operating system it's using, is not needed anymore. If your application runs on your development environment, it will run on all environments...
