Push container image to Azure container registry

In this tutorial, we will learn how to push local container image to Azure container registry. You may refer this article to know more about container image creation: Create Container image

NOTE: We will use Azure CLI hence install Azure CLI version 2.0.29 or later. Run az --version to find the version.

1. Select your subscription. Replace <<subscription ID>> with your subscription id

az account set --s <<subscription ID>>

2. Create resource group

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

Example:

az group create --name helloworldRG --location westeurope

3. Create Azure Container registry. Replace <acrname> with unique ACR name

az acr create --resource-group <resourcegroup>  --name <acrname> --sku Basic

Example:

az acr create --resource-group helloworldRG --name helloworldACR1809 --sku Basic

4. Log in to container registry

az acr login --name <<acr name>>

Example:

az acr login --name helloworldACR1809

5. Tag container image

To push a container image to Azure Container Registry, you must first tag the image with registry's login server.

Run the below commands:

docker images

Tag container image

docker tag <image> <acrLoginServer>/<image>:<tag>

Example:

docker tag helloworldapp helloworldacr1809.azurecr.io/helloworldapp:latest

Run docker images to validate tagging operation.

6. Push Image

Example: docker push helloworldacr1809.azurecr.io/helloworldapp:latest

7. Verify the container image in ACR

az acr repository list --name --output table

Example:

az acr repository list --name helloworldacr1809
