Look inside

You’re a software engineer at Musify, a SaaS company that helps companies launch their products. For its newest client, Musify has created a REST API that allows music artists to upload and delete their audio files as well as letting end users view and listen to songs according to their preferences. Your task is to set up the microservice structure using Docker and deploy the REST API to the Azure portal. You’ll write instructions in a Dockerfile to create and run a custom Docker image in a container. You’ll create a container registry in the Azure portal and push the Docker image to an Azure container registry in the cloud. When you’re finished, you’ll have the know-how and experience to publish a microservice to Azure, and the development team will be able to easily and conveniently access, run, and update the application.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
