Containerize tutorial cleanup and next steps

This article is part of a tutorial about how to containerize and deploy a Python web app to Azure App Service. In this article, you'll clean up resources used in Azure so you don't incur other charges and help keep your Azure subscription uncluttered. You can leave the Azure resources running if you want to use them for further development work.

1. Clean up resources

In this tutorial, all the Azure resources were created in the same resource group. Removing the resource group removes all resources in the resource group and is the fastest way to remove all Azure resources used for your app.

Azure CLI

Azure CLI commands can be run in the Azure Cloud Shell or on a workstation with the Azure CLI installed.

Delete the resource group by using the az group delete command.

bash

az group delete \
    --name $RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME 

PowerShell terminal

az group delete `
    --name $RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME 

You can optionally add the --no-wait argument to allow the command to return before the operation is complete.

VS Code

To work with Azure resources in VS Code, you must have the Azure Tools extension pack installed and be signed into Azure from VS Code.

Instructions	Screenshot
In the Azure Tools extension for Visual Studio Code: Expand RESOURCES and find your subscription. Make sure you are filtering by Group by Resource Group Find your resource group, right-click, and select Delete. Enter the name of the resource group in the dialog box to confirm deletion of the resource group.

Azure portal

Sign in to the Azure portal and follow these steps to delete a resource group.

Instructions	Screenshot
Navigate to the resource group in the Azure portal. Enter the name of the resource group in the search bar at the top of the page. Under the Resource Groups heading, select the name of the resource group to navigate to it.
Select the Delete resource group button at the top of the page.
In the confirmation dialog, enter the name of the resource group to confirm deletion. Select Delete to delete the resource group.

2. Next steps

After completing this tutorial, here are some next steps you can take to build upon what you learned and move the tutorial code and deployment closer to production ready:

• Deploy a web app from a geo-replicated Azure container registry

• Review Security in Azure Cosmos DB

• Map a custom DNS name to your app, see Tutorial: Map custom DNS name to your app.

• Monitor App Service for availability, performance, and operation, see Monitoring App Service and Set up Azure Monitor for your Python application.

• Enable continuous deployment to Azure App Service, see Continuous deployment to Azure App Service, Use CI/CD to deploy a Python web app to Azure App Service on Linux, and Design a CI/CD pipeline using Azure DevOps.

• Create reusable infrastructure as code with Azure Developer CLI (azd).
