Containers

Question:

You are deploying a containerized application in Azure.

Requirements:

The application uses SQL Server in a container, and the database files must be stored on a persistent volume that supports the SMB protocol.
The application must automatically redeploy whenever a new container image is pushed to Azure Container Registry (ACR).

What should you configure?

Note: This question has more than one correct answer

Answer:

ACR Webhooks: Automatically notify your deployment system (e.g., AKS, App Service, Function) when a new image is pushed, enabling continuous deployment.
Azure Files: Provides persistent shared storage over SMB, suitable for SQL Server instances running inside containers.
Azure Event Hub/Event Grid: General eventing/messaging platforms; not the direct mechanism ACR uses for image updates.
Azure Blob/Table/Queue: Storage services for blobs, NoSQL data, or queues. None provide SMB support or automatic image update triggers.
Azure DevOps Pipeline: Useful for orchestrating deployments but does not inherently trigger on ACR image pushes without webhooks.
