Container Apps

The Container Apps page helps you view and manage container apps in the console.

What are Container Apps?

Container Apps are virtual machines that run a selected Docker image in the cloud. The feature handles hardware allocation and configuration, pulls the image from the registry, and manages the app lifecycle. You get a single place to create, view, and manage these apps across your cloud accounts.

You can choose from pre-configured publicly available images or run your own image from a registry.

View Container App instances

The Container Apps table lists all container app instances from your registered cloud accounts, with their attributes displayed in table columns. Use pagination controls at the bottom of the page to navigate between pages if there are too many apps to display.

When table data is being updated, table rows are displayed in italic, and table controls become inactive. It may take time to load the next portion of data.

To refresh the table, use the Reload 🔄 button.

To customize attributes displayed in the table, use the Layout ⠇ button.

When there are too many container apps available, use the Add filters 🔎 button to fine-tune your search. See the Resource Filter documentation for details.

Attributes

The following Container App attributes are available:

  • ID — Provider-specific identifier
  • Provider — Cloud provider (e.g. Akamai)
  • Region — Region or data center where the app runs
  • Account — Account that owns the app
  • Name — Display name (often the linked machine name)

Which columns appear by default can vary; use the Layout button in the toolbar to show or hide columns.

Creating a new container app

To create a new container app, click Create in the toolbar. You are taken to the Create Container App page to configure the app and its containers. This action is disabled when the selected account does not have Admin access.

Deleting a container app

To delete a Container App, i.e. remove the app and free its resources, check the app’s selection box and click the Delete 🗑️ button. This action is disabled when the app is associated with an account that does not have Admin access.

The delete action may take time. Its status and progress are available on the Actions page.
