Course Description
Unlock the full potential of microservices in Azure with Azure Container Apps.
Building microservices in the cloud is always a challenge. Managing infrastructure, inter-service communication, containers, monitoring - there is a lot to do in order to make it run.
But now, with the new Azure Container Apps service, it becomes a much easier task.
With this new service you can quickly build and configure microservices and other types of apps in the cloud, utilizing containers and open source engines such as Keda and Dapr to scale and configure your system.
And with this course - you'll learn everything there's to know about Azure Container Apps, from the absolute beginning to the most advanced topics.
By the end of this course you'll be a real expert in Azure Container Apps, and be able to use it to design and build secure, reliable and fast microservices systems.
Here is a partial list of what we'll talk about in this course:
- Introduction to microservices
- Introduction to containers
- Basic use of Container Apps
- Configuring scaling with Keda
- Configuring communication with Dapr
- Connecting to other services using Service Connectors
- Securing Container Apps
- Running jobs with Container Apps
- Logging and monitoring
And lots and lots more...
Now, to make sure that this course is as valuable as possible, I made it extremely practical.
Instead of just going through the various features of Container Apps, talking about each one and perhaps even doing a demo - this course takes a different approach.
We're going to build, together, a full blown microservices system on Container Apps.
Together, we're going to build the WorldTrip website, a fictional trip planner that's based on Container Apps.
We're going to begin with the very basics - take a code and deploy it to container, and then publish it to the cloud as Container App.
And then we're going to add more capabilities, such as scaling, communication, security, monitoring and more.
And when we're done - you'll be able to say that you've built a microservices system on Container Apps!
Now, don't worry about the code. Everything it going to be provided to you.
The system is built using .NET, but you don't have to be familiar with this platform, you just better have some development knowledge.
There is no other course like this!
This is the only Container Apps course that takes you step-by-step towards a complete, full blown system in the cloud. At the end of it - you can definitely call yourself Azure Container Apps Expert.
This course takes you from the absolute basics of Azure Container Apps to the most advanced topics, known only to few. Completing this course will give you all the knowledge required for designing modern, robust, secure and reliable microservices cloud systems, and, as a bonus, will put you in a great position when looking for your next job.
No other course covers this topic in such a comprehensive and thorough way. I've put all my 20+ years of experience with hundreds of clients in this course, and I'm sure you will greatly benefit from it.

I got a decent overview of how Container Apps work in Azure. The author demonstrates things through both the portal and CLI, which is helpful. However, the disappointing part was the explanation of concepts — the instructor seems to be reading directly from the slides for the most part. Also, the microservices chosen for the demo only had synchronous communication between them. I would have loved to see examples that also covered asynchronous communication with a Service Bus.

Excellent course. Instructor explains concepts well and provides code examples to demonstrate the topic in Azure. Much more detailed than some other courses but not overwhelming.
By Alan Jesús Segundo Nava on 2/16/2026
Awesome, just what we need to geta job and no more. Good trainer
By Michael Gootin on 1/20/2026
Very concise, no extra fluff. I got a solid foundation to start deploying apps to Azure.
By Francisco Javier Santiago de la Peña on 3/12/2025
Very easy to follow. Keeping each video sort helps a lot to keep me engaged. Also the instructor replies quite fast if you have a question/problem with the code. Recommended!
By Manuel Rocha on 11/28/2024
Great insights of the position of Azure Container Apps in the Azure Container services offer. With the example application provided it is easy to follow along. The most relevant aspects of ACA are addressed so that on can be proficient on creating ACA. Excellent job with this course.
By Jennifer Koenig on 10/11/2024
This course will introduce you into how to set up, configure, deploy and maintain microservices using Azure Container Apps. It's appropriate for Azure beginners and touches on more advanced topics as well, such as security, resiliance, and distributed application frameworks like Dapr. The content and delivery is excellent, and provides access to code resources as well. One of the better courses on Udemy!
By Maria Matei on 7/10/2024
Lacks in-depth explanations of concepts & tools, and the examples are very basic. The training feels rushed in general.
By Anonymized User on 4/22/2024
Si bien los videos son cortitos, van directo al punto que se trata. Menos chachara y mas contenido útil.
By David Jordan on 3/27/2024
Exactly what I was looking for :-) Memi clearly explains how to use Container Apps to build advanced microservices in the cloud. Highly recommended for anyone working in the cloud.
