How to deploy a docker container from Azure function app?

Question

I want to programmatically deploy a new docker container on demand from an existing image from an azure function app (e.g. from a cosmodb trigger). Can someone provide some guidance? I'm having difficulty finding any documentation as all my searches bring up running an azure function within a container, which isn't what I'm trying to do.

edit further clarification in my use case, i am using a cosmosdb trigger in a function app. When that cosmosdb collection gets a new record, I extract a string from that record, and then pass that string as a run parameter to dynamically create a new docker container from an existing ACR image.

I am thinking I'll have to use powershell within the function app to do this, I was hoping there would be a C# solution.

Answer 1

What you can do is create an Azure devops pipeline to deploy your new container. Then trigger the running of the pipeline from your function app.
