AZ-204 Developing for Microsoft Azure Exam Prep - Introduction to Containers

The video tutorial discusses the concept of containers as a method for deploying code to the cloud, comparing them to virtual machines and web apps. It explores how containers are supported in Azure, including options like virtual machines, Azure Kubernetes Service, and container instances. The tutorial highlights the advantages of using containers, such as ease of deployment and consistency across environments, while also noting the trade-offs compared to web apps. The video concludes with a look at creating and deploying containers in Azure.

What is a key characteristic of containers that differentiates them from virtual machines?

• Containers provide complete control over the operating system.

• Containers require manual configuration of dependencies.

• Containers package code and dependencies together.

• Containers are only supported on Linux.

Which Azure service is described as the enterprise-grade container service?

• Azure Container Instances

• Azure Kubernetes Service

• Azure Web Apps

• Azure Virtual Machines

What is a limitation of Azure Container Instances compared to Kubernetes?

• They are more complex to set up.

• They do not scale as well.

• They do not support container images.

• They require more resources.

What is a major advantage of using containers for deployment?

• They require less testing.

• They allow for easy modification after deployment.

• They simplify moving applications across environments.

• They eliminate the need for staging environments.

How do containers improve the deployment process compared to traditional methods?

• By allowing direct code editing in production.

• By reducing the need for database scripts.

• By packaging code and dependencies together for easy deployment.

• By eliminating the need for FTP.
