A maple-syrup cooperative pushes a grader API image to Azure Container Registry and then waits for HTTPS traffic that never arrives. What role does ACR play versus the compute host?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
ACR is the locked pantry where finished jars sit on the shelf. Someone still has to open a jar and serve it—ACI, Container Apps, or App Service. Pushing to the pantry never turns on the lunch counter.
Full Explanation
Azure Container Registry stores and distributes container images. It does not run application processes or terminate client HTTPS for your API. A compute host such as Azure Container Instances, Azure Container Apps, or App Service must pull the image and start containers before traffic flows. Treating ACR as a runtime confuses publish with deploy.
