I have a nextJS app working in local container. I uploaded the image to Azure and now my application is up from Azure Container Instances.
its listening on port 3000 on http protocol.
I want to utilize Azure https certificate and have site like https://mysitexyz.azurewebsites.net which should point to my container: http://containerip:3000
What Azure resource should i using to achieve that?
You can point your custom DNS to an Azure Container Instances: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-custom-dns
EDIT: *.azurewebsites.net is the DNS assigned when you use Azure App Service. You can't use it outside Azure App Service. What you can do, is run Containers on top of it using Azure Web App for Containers.

I have created an Azure App Service inside an Internal App Service Environment. I want to make API App publicly available using Application Gateway.
Can anyone suggest me how to do it?
I have a Kubernetes service running in Azure (AKS - Azure Kubernetes Service). It runs with the external IP. I am trying to access another service that is running in my local machine from Azure AKS.
for ex: http://:9089 (Not able to access from Azure AKS)
Is there any way where I can access my local URL from Azure AKS? Kindly help.
You could use DynDNS or just deploy your service to another namespace within the existing AKS.
What are the advantages of using Azure App Service to deploy a docker application instead of Azure Container Instance?
I found out that Azure Container instances don't have any networking-related capabilities in terms of restricting app access. Are there any more advantages of using Azure App Service to deploy a container?
There are many advantages of using Azure app service over azure container instance
Azure app service is PAAS(platform as a service) on the other side azure container the instance is an IAAS(infrastructure as a service).
In azure app service directly integration of custom domain is available
Integration with the application gateway to handle the traffic load
It offers auto-scaling and high availability.
Automated deployments from GitHub, Azure DevOps, or any Git repo to support a continuous deployment model
Host background jobs(Web Jobs)
If have reserved few VMs in Azure, can't I use them to host App services? The instance types I see in VMs is not same as the ones I see in App Service?
For the reserved EC2 instances in AWS, I am able to use them by Elastic Beanstalk service. Isn't the same option available in Azure?
No, the Azure app service is multiple-tenant PaaS. There are multiple web apps that will host the same app service plan and you don't need to manage the underlying infrastructure for your hosting web apps.
Alternatively, you could directly host your application on the Azure VMs or Azure VM scale sets that make you more control of the infrastructure. Also, you could refer to load-balancing options in Azure.
Goal: Deploy a website to Azure App Service in a container that works from the php-apache base image as has a custom domain with SSL.
Current Situtation:
Website setup to use Dockerfile for building an image
Image uploaded to Docker Hub and successfully built
Image deployed to Azure App Service as a container
Configured custom domain in Azure and pointed DNS to provided IP Address
Problem: How do I configure my container? Currently, I am getting an SSL warning when trying to connect to my website which makes perfect sense as my domain does not match the default certificate azure provides for *.azurewebsite.net (and Azure tells you this when you setup a custom domain, which is neat).
Does Azure pass a request made on 443 to my container on 443 requiring me to configure my container for an SSL connection?
Does Azure terminate the SSL connection and pass the request to my container on port 80?
I understand I need to upload my certificate to Azure, but if Azure is passing the request to my container on 443, that would mean I would need to setup my container to accept requests on 443 and configure the certificate inside the container (which is fairly trivial). However, if Azure terminates the SSL and passes the request over port 80, then my life is a bit simpler as I can just configure my container to listen on 80 and let Azure do the heavy lifting.
If you have any questions, or need clarification please let me know.
From what I can tell, Azure is terminating the SSL connection and passing the request to my container on port 80. I am making this assumption because at this point I am hosting a number of websites in containers and none of them expose 443.
It seems that all that is necessary is to upload your certificate to the Azure App Service Plan and do a bit of configuring to associate it with the correct App Service and website. The container running a website requires no special configuration for SSL.
