Support for accessing container details in Azure Container Apps

Question

Is it possible to obtain details about a running container such as name, arguments, and image in Azure Container Apps similar to the way it can be done in ECS-Fargate? Referring to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/task-metadata-endpoint-v4-fargate-response.html

Or publicly exposed APIs by Azure Container Apps is the only available option.

Referring to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/containerapps/container-apps/get?view=rest-containerapps-2024-03-01&tabs=HTTP

Hello PS,

Thanks for your question.

Azure Container Apps doesn't currently offer functionality identical to ECS-Fargate', that provides details about individual containers within an application.

Yes, you are correct the recommended method to do this by using the Rest API as you provided in your question.

An alternative Option can be container Application logging: See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-apps/logging
