Containerization Technologies and Best Practices

This is the shortest part of the series and the one most likely to save you an afternoon. Pushing an image is three commands — but if you're on an Apple Silicon Mac, one missing flag produces a container that builds perfectly, pushes perfectly, and then refuses to start on Azure.
Your container image is stuck on your laptop, and Azure can't reach your laptop. In this part you'll create the two Azure resources that fix that: a resource group to hold everything, and a container registry to store the image.
Your app works on your machine because your machine happens to have .NET 10 installed. A container removes that "happens to" — it packages the app and the runtime into one box that behaves identically everywhere.
Most "deploy to the cloud" tutorials skip the part where you actually understand what you built. This series does the opposite: six short parts that take you from an empty folder to a real, public URL on Azure, explaining every command along the way.
