Goodbye Azure Kubernetes Service! Hello Azure Container Apps!
summary
Compares Azure Kubernetes Service complexity with Azure Container Apps as a managed, serverless abstraction built on Kubernetes using KEDA, Envoy and Dapr; shows .NET 8 apps deployed via Azure Container Registry and Azure Developer CLI (azd) and claims scale-to-zero billing and HTTP autoscaling by KEDA based on concurrency. Demonstrates revisions with traffic split for A/B rollouts, Dapr sidecar for service invocation and retries, and an Orleans-based game (C Wars) running across multiple container apps — deployed and working in production. Examples and code live on GitHub.
