Containerize and Deploy Java Applications

Author: Microsoft Developer - Bewertung: 4x - Views:47

Your Java app is upgraded and running on Java 21 — now what? In this episode, watch how the GitHub Copilot app modernization extension containerizes a Java application with Docker, validates it locally, and then provisions Azure infrastructure and deploys to Azure Container Apps — all using built-in tasks and an agent-driven workflow.

In this episode, you'll learn:
→ How to use the built-in containerization task to generate Dockerfiles and build images automatically
→ How Copilot follows the same pattern every time — analyze, plan, get approval, execute
→ How to review and edit the containerization plan before Copilot executes
→ How to test the containerized app locally before deploying (switching to H2 for local testing)
→ How to use the "Provision Infrastructure and Deploy to Azure" task to generate Bicep/IaC and deploy to Azure Container Apps
→ How Copilot generates architecture diagrams, security configurations, and execution steps in the deployment plan

📺 This is Episode 6 of the Modernize Java Apps with AI series — a 9-part, hands-on guide to upgrading legacy Java applications using GitHub Copilot.
