Azure services supporting Docker Compose

Question

I would like to run a docker compose configuration on Azure. More specifically, the Eramba docker (https://github.com/eramba/docker). It consists of 3 services (Redis, Eramba and MySQL) (see the docker-compose.simple-install.yml).

Which Azure service would be the most appropriate to run this configuration? AC Instances, AC Apps, A App Service, Virtual Machine, ...?

I tried using the ACI using the tutorial (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/tutorial-docker-compose), but the support of docker cli for azure has been retired, so that tutorial does not work anymore.

Any help is appreciated!

Hello @Jasper Surmont

You can use multiple option with Docker Compose in Azure

• Azure Container Instances with Docker Compose. Deploy a multi-container group using Docker Compose

Tutorial: Deploy a multi-container group using Docker Compose

• Azure App Service with Docker Compose Preview(not all commands are supported)
  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/configure-custom-container?pivots=container-linux&tabs=debian#docker-compose-options
• Azure Marketplace - Docker Compose Server

https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/cloud-infrastructure-services.docker-compose-ubuntu20?tab=overview

I would recommend to deploy your app in Azure Container Apps by modifying your Docker Compose and separate it into standalone Docker containers.
