Question

I create azure container app but it failed with operation expire. No revision created so I cannot see log.

I have no clue where I can check detail of error.

Do you have any idea?

Hi Limopasit, Anattapol (Allianz Technology),

In order to create an Azure Container App, under your resource group create an environment

az containerapp env create \

  --name arkorg-env \

  --resource-group arkorg \

  --location centralindia

Check if the environment was created successfully

az containerapp env show --name arkorg-env --resource-group arkorg

Now deploy your container app. I am deploying in Nginx on it

az containerapp create \

  --name mycontainerapp \

  --resource-group arkorg \

  --environment arkorg-env \

  --image nginx \

  --target-port 80 \

  --ingress external \

  --cpu 0.5 \

  --memory 1.0Gi

Check the container app's status

Looks good.

fetch the URL and test it out

az containerapp show --name mycontainerapp --resource-group arkorg --query "properties.configuration.ingress.fqdn" --output tsv

Works fine.

If the deployment fails with operation expired, proceed to troubleshooting.

Check logs if revision exists

az containerapp logs show --name mycontainerapp --resource-group arkorg

Check for activity logs-

az monitor activity-log list --resource-group arkorg

If no revision exists, the issue is likely image pull failure or resource quota limits.

If CPU/memory is maxed out, try a different region

If operation is failing because of image pull issue then let me know if you are using a private container registry?

If so , update your aca with the private acr using it's username and password

az containerapp update \

  --name mycontainerapp \

  --resource-group arkorg \

  --image myregistry.azurecr.io/myimage:v1 \

  --registry-server myregistry.azurecr.io \

  --registry-username <USERNAME> \

  --registry-password <PASSWORD>
