Deploy to the cloud at lightning speed with .NET Aspire and Azure Container Apps
summary
Shows a practical path: start with .NET Aspire to write a code-driven app model that auto-containerizes without Dockerfiles, use Azure Developer CLI (AZD) to generate bicep and push resources, and target Azure Container Apps with scale-to-zero, multi-revision traffic shifts and built-in observability. Example environment includes a container registry, managed identity and four container apps (a Blazor frontend + services); live demo has partial UI hiccups but deployments and scaling behavior are verified. Team size ~50 engineers and ~50% of users stick with single-container workloads.
