Deploy & Update Apps

Standard Deployment Flow​

Every service follows the same 3-step flow:

Code change → Build & push image to ACR → Update Container App

Step 1: Build and push the image​

With local Docker running:

# Log in to ACR
az acr login --name ca45076245feacr

# Build and tag
docker build -t ca45076245feacr.azurecr.io/my-service:$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) .

# Push
docker push ca45076245feacr.azurecr.io/my-service:$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)

Without local Docker (recommended — cloud build):

az acr build \
  --registry ca45076245feacr \
  --resource-group testing \
  --image my-service:$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) \
  .

Step 2: Update the Container App​

az containerapp update \
  --name my-service \
  --resource-group testing \
  --image ca45076245feacr.azurecr.io/my-service:$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)

Step 3: Verify​

# Check the running revision
az containerapp show \
  --name my-service \
  --resource-group testing \
  --query 'properties.template.containers[0].image' \
  -o tsv

# Check health
curl https://my-service.icydesert-76825898.southindia.azurecontainerapps.io/health

Service-Specific Commands​

Marketing Site (agentstacktech.com)​

az acr build --registry ca45076245feacr --resource-group testing \
  --image agentstack-marketing:latest .

az containerapp update --name agentatacktechmarketing \
  --resource-group assistant-agent-rg \
  --image ca45076245feacr.azurecr.io/agentstack-marketing:latest

HITL Frontend​

TAG=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
az acr build --registry ca45076245feacr --resource-group testing \
  --image hitl-frontend:$TAG .

az containerapp update --name hitl-frontend --resource-group testing \
  --image ca45076245feacr.azurecr.io/hitl-frontend:$TAG

Assistant Agent​

TAG=$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)
az acr build --registry ca74e243f29aacr --resource-group assistant-agent-rg \
  --image assistant-agent:$TAG .

az containerapp update --name assistant-agent --resource-group assistant-agent-rg \
  --image ca74e243f29aacr.azurecr.io/assistant-agent:$TAG

Keycloak​

az acr build --registry ca45076245feacr --resource-group testing \
  --image keycloak:26.0-agentstack-$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) .

az containerapp update --name keycloak --resource-group testing \
  --image ca45076245feacr.azurecr.io/keycloak:26.0-agentstack-$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)

Rolling Back​

# Find previous image tags
az acr repository show-tags \
  --name ca45076245feacr \
  --repository hitl-frontend \
  --orderby time_desc \
  --output table

# Roll back to a specific tag
az containerapp update \
  --name hitl-frontend \
  --resource-group testing \
  --image ca45076245feacr.azurecr.io/hitl-frontend:<previous-tag>

Environment Variables & Secrets​

To add or update an env var:

# Plain env var
az containerapp update \
  --name my-service \
  --resource-group testing \
  --set-env-vars "MY_VAR=my-value"

# Secret env var (store secret first, then reference it)
az containerapp secret set \
  --name my-service \
  --resource-group testing \
  --secrets "MY_SECRET=secret-value"

az containerapp update \
  --name my-service \
  --resource-group testing \
  --set-env-vars "MY_VAR=secretref:MY_SECRET"

Scaling​

az containerapp update \
  --name my-service \
  --resource-group testing \
  --min-replicas 1 \
  --max-replicas 5
