The capability
to run Azure Container Apps on your own Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes clusters
(AKS and AKS-HCI) is now generally available.
The cluster can be on-premises or hosted in a third-party cloud. This approach allows developers to take
advantage of the features and developer productivity of Azure Container
Apps. Meanwhile it allows IT
Administrators to maintain corporate compliance by hosting the application in
Hybrid environments.
Azure
Container Apps allows developers to rapidly build and deploy microservices and
containerized applications. Common uses
of Azure Container Apps include, but are not limited to: API endpoints,
background or event-driven processing, and running microservices. Applications can dynamically scale within the
limits of the Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster.
By deploying
an Arc extension on the Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster, IT administrators
gain control of the underlying hardware and environment, while still enabling
the high productivity of Azure PaaS services from within a hybrid environment.
GA pricing for
this capability will go in effect on July 1, 2025.
