A simple blog for simple guides

..and other random stuff.

Deploy your first Azure Container Instance.

1. Introduction In this guide I’ll be guiding you on deploying an image to Azure Container Instance. To share a quick description of what ACI is, it’s a simple way for you to deploy a container image on Azure with out having to create an AKS cluster. You can look into the previous guides if you haven’t already created custom images or for steps on how to pull an image from Docker Hub and push them to ACR.

Creating your first custom Docker image with Retroarch.

1. Introduction In this guide I’ll be showing you how to pull a docker image, exec into the image to make changes, move files from your local PC inside the container using the cp (copy) option , commit (save) the changes you have made to your image, and tag/push (upload) files into your Azure Container Registry. We’re going to set up container running RetroArch that can be played from a web browser.

Lets create your first Azure Container Registry

1. Introduction In this guide I’ll be showing you how to configure your first Azure Container Registry to upload your container images. A Registry is needed if you would like to create custom images and later pull these images from other services to run your containers, these could be any containerized systems, including Kubernetes, Docker, etc. The guide will not go over creating custom images as these will be explained in future guides.

Getting started with AKS the fun way.

Learning about Kubernetes/AKS the fun way. 1 Introduction: Getting started with Kubernetes can be a little bit overwhelming and specially if you want to start deploying something that makes use of multiple features and services at the same time. To change things up a bit and instead of deploying a basic Hello World app which you can find many under Azure’s documentation, I’ll be guiding you on how to set up something a bit more… fun, a Minecraft Server running on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) as well as using a File Share to keep your files handy for quick and easy access.

So... Why the Blog?

Welcome to Ramirez.cr I’ve played around with other blogging platforms but keeping one active, specially with external DBs, was never really appealing to me. Recently though I found multiple frameworks, like https://gohugo.io/ , that can create these types of sites and publish them to static pages which I thought was great. To learn more about them and how they work I wanted to get something running. The main purpose of this blog is to share guides for beginners that might want to start getting involved with the cloud and other fun tech.
