Setting Up an Azure Container Registry

Microsoft Azure uses the Azure Container Registry for securely building and deploying your applications. To create an Azure Container Registry, you need to create an Azure Resource group. An Azure resource group is a logical container into which Azure resources are deployed and managed.

For more information about commands used in the following procedure, see Microsoft Azure CLI documentation.

• Set up the Microsoft Azure command line environment.
• For TIBCO BusinessEvents application container image that you want to deploy to the Kubernetes cluster, see Containerize TIBCO BusinessEvents Application.

Note: If you build your container image using buildah tool, similar to docker login,tag,push or pull commands same is available with buildah tool.

1. Create a resource group by using the az group create command.

   az group create --name <resource_group_name> --location <location>
   

2. Create an Azure Container Registry instance in your resource group by using the az acr create command.

   az acr create --resource-group <resource_group_name> --name <registry_name> --sku Basic --admin-enabled true
   

3. Login to the container registry created earlier by using the az acr login command.

   az acr login --name <registry_name>
   

   The command returns a Login Succeeded message once completed.

4. To use the TIBCO BusinessEvents application container image with Azure Container Registry, tag the image with the login server address of your registry.

   1. View the list of your local images by using the docker images command.

      $ docker images
      
      REPOSITORY                   TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
      fdcache                      latest              4675398c9172        13 minutes ago      694MB
      
      

   2. Get the login server address for the Azure Container Registry by using the az acr list command.

      az acr list --resource-group <resource_group_name> --query "[].{acrLoginServer:loginServer}" --output table
      

   3. Tag your application image with login server address of your registry from the earlier step. This creates an alias of the application image with a fully qualified path to your registry.

      docker tag fdcache <registry_login_server>/fdcache:01
      

   4. Verify the tags applied to the image by running the docker images command again.

      $ docker images
      
      REPOSITORY                               TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
      mycontainerregistry.azuecr.io/fdcache    01                  4675398c9172        13 minutes ago      694MB
      
      

5. Push the application image to your container registry by using the docker push command.

   docker push <registry_login_server>/fdcache:01
   

6. Validate if the image is uploaded to your registry.

   az acr repository list --name <registry_login_server> --output table
