Clear Thinking in Data, Cloud, and AI

In Azure (Container Apps, AKS, Jobs), the same container ideas apply, just with cloud wiring added:

• Docker image → what Azure actually runs
• YAML or Azure CLI → how Azure runs it (CPU, memory, identity, schedule)
• entrypoint.sh → the task Azure executes inside the container

Example in Azure:

• The image contains your backup or restore logic
• Azure injects configuration (env vars, Managed Identity, secrets)
• The container starts → entrypoint.sh runs → job completes

Key insight:

Azure never runs your YAML.
Azure runs your container, and your container runs entrypoint.sh.

This is why the same image works:

• locally with Docker
• in Azure Container Apps
• in scheduled Azure Jobs

Once you understand this, debugging Azure container issues becomes much easier.
