02 - Create a Web App
In this walkthrough, we will create a web app that runs a Docker container. The Docker container contains a
Welcome message.
Azure App Service are actually a collection of four services, all of which are built to help you host and run web
applications. The four services (Web Apps, Mobile Apps, API Apps, and Logic Apps) look different, but in the end
they all operate in very similar ways. Web Apps are the most commonly used of the four services, and this is the
service that we will be using in this lab.
Task 1: Create a Web App
In this task, you will create an Azure App Service Web App.
1. Sign-in to the Azure por tal .
2. From the All ser vices blade, search for and select App Ser vices , and click + Add, + Create, + New
3. On the Basics tab of the Web App blade, specify the following settings (replace xxxx in the name of the
web app with letters and digits such that the name is globally unique). Leave the defaults for everything
else, including the App Service Plan.
Setting Value
Subscription Use default supplied
Resource Group Create new resource group
Name myDockerWebAppxxxx
Publish Docker Container
Operating System Linux
Region East US
Note: Remember to change the xxxx so that your Web App name is unique.
4. Click Next > Docker and configure the container information.
Setting Value
Options Single container
Image Source Docker Hub
Access Type Public
Image and tag mcr.microsoft.com/azuredocs/aci-helloworld
Note: The startup command is optional and not needed in this exercise.
5. Click Review + create , and then click Create .

Task 2: Test the Web App
In this task, we will test the web app.
1. Wait for the Web App to deploy.
2. From Notifications click Go to resource .
3. On the Over view blade, locate the URL . Copy the URL to the clipboard.
4. In a new browser window, paste the URl and press enter. The Welcome to Azure Container Instances!
welcome message will be displayed.
5. Switch back to the Over view blade of your web app and scroll down. You will notice several charts
tracking Data In/Out and Requests. If you repeat step 4 a few times, you should be able to see
corresponding telemetry being displayed in these charts. This includes number of requests and average
response time.
Note : To avoid additional costs, you can optionally remove this resource group. Search for resource groups, click
your resource group, and then click Delete resource group . Verify the name of the resource group and then
click Delete . Monitor the Notifications to see how the delete is proceeding.
Congratulations you successfully created an Azure App Service.
