Azure has given us great platforms to run containers. Starting with Azure Container Instance where you can run a small container group just like a docker server and also Azure Kubernetes Service where you can run and manage Kubernetes clusters and containers at scale. Now, the latest Kubernetes abstraction from Azure is called Container Apps!
When a service comes out in a cloud provider their tools are updated right away so when Contrainer Apps came out you could deploy it with ARM or Bicep. You could still deploy it with Terraform by using the AzAPI provider which interacts directly with Azures API but as of a few weeks back (from the publish date of this article) you can use the native AzureRM provider to deploy it.
