| # Deploy to Azure using Docker |
|
|
| This tutorial walks you through containerizing an existing Node.js application using [Docker](https://www.docker.com/), pushing the app image to a Docker registry, then deploying the image to [Azure Web App for Containers](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/app-service/containers/) directly from Visual Studio Code. |
|
|
| ## Prerequisites |
|
|
| If you don't have an Azure account, [sign up today](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/?utm_source=campaign&utm_campaign=vscode-tutorial-docker-extension&mktingSource=vscode-tutorial-docker-extension) for a free 30-day account with $200 in Azure credits to try out any combination of services. |
|
|
| You need [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) installed along with [Node.js and npm](https://nodejs.org/en/download) and [Docker](https://www.docker.com/community-edition). |
|
|
| ## Install the Docker and Azure App Service extensions |
|
|
| The Docker extension is used to simplify the management of local Docker images and commands as well as the deployment of a built app image to Azure. |

|
|
| ## Sign in |
|
|
| Once the extensions are installed, log into your Azure account - in the Activity Bar, click on the Azure logo to show the **AZURE APP SERVICE** explorer. Click **Sign in to Azure...** and follow the instructions. |
|
|
|  |
|
|
| ## Prerequisite Check |
|
|
| Before we continue, ensure that you have all the prerequisites installed and configured. |
|
|
| In VS Code, you should see your Azure email address in the Status Bar and your subscription in the **AZURE APP SERVICE** explorer. |
|
|
| Verify that you have Docker installed and running. |
|
|
| ```bash |
| $ docker --version |
| Docker Version 17.12.0-ce, build c97c6d6 |
| ``` |
