Configure Container App with Front Door and Custom Domain
What is a Container App?
A container app is a type of application that is built and deployed in a containerized environment. This can be a single-container or a multi-container deployment. Containers provide a lightweight, portable, and easily scalable way to deploy applications and services on the cloud.

Advantages of Container Apps
Container apps offer several advantages over traditional application deployments.

* Faster deployment: Containers can be quickly deployed and scaled up or down as needed.
* Easier maintenance: Containers are isolated from each other, so they are easier to maintain and update.
* Portability: Containers can be easily moved between different cloud providers and even on-premises environments.
* Security: Containers are isolated from each other, so they provide an extra layer of security.
