Docker for Azure Public Beta
Last week #Docker for AWS went public beta, and today Docker for Azure reached the same milestone and is ready for public testing. Docker for Azure is a great way for ops to setup and maintain secure and scalable Docker deployments on Azure.
With Docker for Azure, IT ops teams can:
Deploy a standard Docker platform to ensure teams can seamlessly move apps from developer laptops to Dockerized staging and production environments, without risk of incompatibilities or lock-in.
Integrate deeply with underlying infrastructure to ensure Docker takes advantage of the host environment’s native capabilities and exposes a familiar interface to administrators.
Deploy the platform to all the places where you want to run Dockerized apps, simply and efficiently
Make sure the latest and greatest Docker versions are available for the hardware, OSs, and infrastructure you love, and provide solid upgrade paths from one Docker version to the next.

Installation takes a few minutes, and will give you a fully functioning swarm, ready to deploy and scale Dockerized apps.
We first unveiled the Docker for Azure private beta on stage at DockerCon 2016 back in June, and we are excited to be opening up to beta to the public. We received lots of great feedback from private beta testers (thanks!) and incorporated as much of it as possible. Enhancements added during the private beta include:
All container logs are stored in an Azure storage account for later retrieval and inspection. That means you no longer have to rummage around on hosts to find the error you’re looking for or worry that logs are lost if a worker is replaced.
Built-in diagnose tool lets you submit a swarm-wide diagnostic dump to Docker so that we can help diagnose and troubleshoot a misbehaving Docker for Azure swarm.
Improved upgrade stability so that you can confidently upgrade your Docker for Azure to the latest version
We’re particularly proud of the progress we’ve made on diagnostics and upgradability. These are features that set a true production system apart from simple fire-and-forget templates that just spin up resources without thought for debugging or future upgrades.
The improvements added during the private beta complement the initial features Docker for Azure launched with earlier this year:
Simple access and management using SSH
Quick and secure deployment of websites thanks to auto-provisioned and auto-configured load balancers
Secure and easy-to-manage Azure network and instance configuration
With today’s public beta announcement, we hope to get even more users interested in running Docker on Azure and testing the beta. Check out the detailed docs and sign up on beta.docker.com to be notified of updates and new beta versions.
Docker for AWS and Azure currently only support Linux-based swarms of managers and workers. Windows Server worker support will come as Docker on Windows Server matures. If you have questions or feedback, send an email or post to the Docker for AWS or the Docker for Azure forums.
