Retirement: Docker Compose Feature for Azure App Service to Be Retired on March 31, 2027 – Replaced by Sidecars in Azure App Service


Summary of Docker Compose Feature Retirement for Azure App Service

  • Announcement: Azure App Service has announced the retirement of the Docker Compose feature for multi-container deployment, effective March 31, 2027[1][2][5].
  • Replacement: The Docker Compose feature will be replaced by the new Sidecar feature, which is now generally available and offers a modernized approach to multi-container application management on Azure App Service[1][3][5].

Key Differences and Benefits of Sidecar

  • Simplified Configuration: Sidecar provides a more intuitive and streamlined model for configuring and deploying multi-container applications compared to Docker Compose[1].
  • Azure Portal Integration: Offers deeper integration with the Azure portal, allowing users to monitor, manage, and view logs for each container individually[1].
  • Enhanced Features: Native support for Azure App Service features such as VNet and Managed Identity, enabling more secure and flexible architectures[1].
  • Modern Management: Designed for improved observability, control, and reliability within the Azure ecosystem[1][3].

Migration Guidance

  • Timeline: Customers are encouraged to start planning the transition from Docker Compose to Sidecar as soon as possible, well ahead of the March 31, 2027 retirement date[1][2].
  • Recommendation: Use deployment slots during migration for safe testing in staging environments before moving to production. Users on lower pricing tiers can temporarily upgrade to Standard for migration and then downgrade afterward[1].
  • Resources: Microsoft provides detailed migration guides and best practices to ensure a smooth transition and continued support for multi-container workloads[1][3].

Additional Notes

Table: Comparison of Docker Compose vs. Sidecar

| Feature | Docker Compose | Sidecar | |------------------------|------------------------|-----------------------| | Retirement Date | March 31, 2027 | — | | Azure Portal Support | Limited | Full, with logging/management per container | | Configuration Model | YAML-based | Simplified, Azure-native | | Security Integration | Partial | VNet, Managed Identity | | Observability | Basic | Enhanced |

Key Takeaways

  • Act now: Begin migrating from Docker Compose to Sidecar to avoid future disruptions.
  • Sidecar is the future: It brings enhanced features, integration, and ease of management for multi-container Azure App Service applications[1][3][5].
