Hi ,

I have a containerized rasa bot using Docker-compose. I am struggling to deploy the bot to azure. Is there any details someone can help me with in terms of deployment of the bot in MS azure.

I have the image in azure container registry, I am confused as I have 2 images(Rasa & Action), Just not sure how to start the server in azure environment. I tried With Container Instance but no luck. _If anybody has any lead on this please help me out to get this running._

Thanks, Gourav.

Hi @nik202 ,

Thanks for your prompt response.

Yes the container is working locally. I am just confused how to get it running in Azure. I am planning not to use VM, but rather use ACI (Azure Container instances).

Rasa Specs: Rasa Version : 2.8.12 Minimum Compatible Version: 2.8.9 Rasa SDK Version : 2.8.2 Rasa X Version : None Python Version : 3.7.10

_Please let me know if that’s not clear, and if you need any other Information._

Thanks, Gourav.

Honestly, I have not implemented this on Azure Container instances. I always follow the mentioned documentation. If you are able to install docker and docker-compose on Azure Container instances and able to create the project folder then you can do anything, can you confirm, will you? or share some screenshots, please.
