In this chapter, we have seen how we can host and run the catalog service project in Microsoft Azure. We also learned how to create a private Azure Container Registry and how to store the Docker image of the catalog service. Then, we showed you some of the patterns you can use to get a custom container into the cloud and how to run them using different services offered by the Microsoft Azure cloud provider. Finally, we looked at two different approaches to hosting the catalog service: using the ACI product and Azure App Service and storing the data using the Azure SQL service.
In the next chapter, we will learn how to document APIs using the OpenAPI Specification by implementing the Swagger framework.
