Azure Container Registry (ACR) is a managed, private registry that allows you to store and secure your Docker container images within Azure. ACR provides a simple and efficient way to manage and deploy container images, to different environments, including Kubernetes clusters and Azure Container Instances (ACI). In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps of implementing ACR for container image storage.<\/p>\n
Before we begin, you should have the following:<\/p>\n
Before you can create an ACR instance, you need to create a Resource Group to contain it. A Resource Group is a logical container for grouping Azure resources. To create a Resource Group, run the following command in the Azure CLI:<\/p>\n
az group create --name <resource-group-name> --location <location>\n<\/code><\/pre>\nIn this command, replace <resource-group-name><\/code> with the name of your Resource Group, and <location><\/code> with the location where you want to create it.<\/p>\nStep 2: Create an Azure Container Registry instance<\/h1>\n
To create an ACR instance, you need to specify a registry name, location, and SKU (pricing tier). The SKU determines the storage capacity and features of your registry.<\/p>\n
To create an ACR instance, run the following command in the Azure CLI:<\/p>\n
az acr create --name <registry-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name> --sku <sku>\n<\/code><\/pre>\nIn this command, replace <registry-name><\/code> with the name of your ACR instance, <resource-group-name><\/code> with the name of your Resource Group, and <sku><\/code> with the SKU you want to use.<\/p>\nFor example, to create an ACR instance named myregistry<\/code> in the myresourcegroup<\/code> Resource Group, with the Basic<\/code> SKU, run the following command:<\/p>\naz acr create --name myregistry --resource-group myresourcegroup --sku Basic\n<\/code><\/pre>\nStep 3: Log in to the ACR instance<\/h1>\n
Before you can push Docker images to the ACR instance, you need to log in to it. To do this, run the following command in the Azure CLI:<\/p>\n
az acr login --name <registry-name>\n<\/code><\/pre>\nIn this command, replace <registry-name><\/code> with the name of your ACR instance.<\/p>\nFor example, to log in to an ACR instance named myregistry<\/code>, run the following command:<\/p>\naz acr login --name myregistry\n<\/code><\/pre>\nStep 4: Tag and push a Docker image<\/h1>\n
Now that you have logged in to your ACR instance, you can push Docker images to it. To do this, you need to tag the Docker image with the fully qualified name of the ACR instance and push it to the registry.<\/p>\n
To tag a Docker image, run the following command:<\/p>\n
docker tag <image-name> <acr-login-server>\/<image-name>:<tag>\n<\/code><\/pre>\nIn this command, replace <image-name><\/code> with the name of your Docker image, <acr-login-server><\/code> with the login server of your ACR instance (you can find this by running the command az acr list --query \"[].{acrLoginServer:loginServer}\" --output table<\/code>), and <tag><\/code> with a tag for your Docker image.<\/p>\nFor example, to tag a Docker image named myimage<\/code> and push it to an ACR instance named myregistry<\/code>, run the following commands:<\/p>\ndocker tag myimage myregistry.azurecr.io\/myimage:v1\ndocker push myregistry.azurecr.io\/myimage:v1\n<\/code><\/pre>\nStep 5: Authenticate to the ACR instance from Kubernetes<\/h1>\n
If you are using Kubernetes to deploy your containerized applications, you can use the ACR instance as a container image repository. To do this, you need to authenticate with the ACR instance from Kubernetes.<\/p>\n
To authenticate with the ACR instance, you need to create a Kubernetes secret that contains the credentials for the ACR instance. To do this, run the following command:<\/p>\n
kubectl create secret docker-registry <secret-name> --docker-server=<acr-login-server> --docker-username=<acr-username> --docker-password=<acr-password>\n<\/code><\/pre>\nIn this command, replace <secret-name><\/code> with a name for your Kubernetes secret, <acr-login-server><\/code> with the login server of your ACR instance, <acr-username><\/code> with the username for your ACR instance (which is the name of the ACR instance), and <acr-password><\/code> with the password for your ACR instance (which you can find by running the command az acr credential show --name <registry-name><\/code> in the Azure CLI).<\/p>\nFor example, to create a Kubernetes secret named myregistry-secret<\/code> for an ACR instance named myregistry<\/code>, run the following command:<\/p>\nkubectl create secret docker-registry myregistry-secret --docker-server=myregistry.azurecr.io --docker-username=myregistry --docker-password=<acr-password>\n<\/code><\/pre>\nStep 6: Use the ACR instance in a Kubernetes deployment<\/h1>\n
Once you have authenticated with the ACR instance from Kubernetes, you can use it as a container image repository in your Kubernetes deployment.<\/p>\n
To use the ACR instance in a Kubernetes deployment, you need to specify the image name in your deployment manifest. To do this, replace the <image-name><\/code> field with the fully qualified name of the Docker image in your ACR instance.<\/p>\nFor example, to use an image named myregistry.azurecr.io\/myimage:v1<\/code> in a Kubernetes deployment, specify it in your deployment manifest as follows:<\/p>\napiVersion: apps\/v1\nkind: Deployment\nmetadata:\n name: myapp\nspec:\n replicas: 1\n selector:\n matchLabels:\n app: myapp\n template:\n metadata:\n labels:\n app: myapp\n spec:\n containers:\n - name: myapp\n image: myregistry.azurecr.io\/myimage:v1\n ports:\n - containerPort: 80\n<\/code><\/pre>\nConclusion<\/h1>\n
Azure Container Registry (ACR) is a powerful and easy-to-use service for storing and securing Docker container images within Azure. In this tutorial, we walked through the steps of implementing ACR for container image storage, including creating an ACR instance, logging in to the ACR instance, pushing Docker images to the ACR instance, authenticating with the ACR instance from Kubernetes, and using the ACR instance in a Kubernetes deployment. By following these steps, you can take advantage of the benefits of containerization and cloud computing to build and deploy your applications in a scalable, efficient, and secure manner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
