Microsoft Azure is Microsoft's public cloud computing platform for deploying and operating applications, infrastructure, and managed services.
Azure provides a practical starting point for cloud-native applications, including privately hosted container images and managed cloud resources. section 3.9.1
Create a private container registry through the Azure portal:
Sign up at azure.microsoft.com and sign in to portal.azure.com. section 3.9.1
Choose Create a Resource, search for container registry, and select Container Registry by Microsoft. section 3.9.1
Complete the registry details, create a resource group, and deploy the registry. section 3.9.1
Check All Resources and view the registry authentication details after deployment. section 3.9.1
Private container registry
A proprietary application can publish its container images to an Azure private registry instead of a public registry such as Docker Hub. section 3.9.1

Use the portal walkthrough to locate the container registry creation workflow. section 3.9.1
How Bootstrapping Microservices, Second Edition: With Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, and Terraform covers it
How deep it goes
Guides portal-based registry creation and authentication, while deferring infrastructure creation through Terraform.
Examples
Uses a private container registry created through the Azure portal for proprietary application images.
What it assumes
Assumes a browser and Azure signup, while teaching registry creation and resource-group selection procedurally.
What you can do after
Operate/configure a private container registry through the Azure portal and inspect its authentication details.
How it connects
Connects cloud-native applications with container registries, Docker Hub, AWS, GCP, resource groups, and Terraform.
