What if building and deploying cloud-native applications on Azure could feel as simple as running a local app?

In this session, we take a first look at Azure Container Apps Express and the emerging sandbox model in Azure Container Apps. We’ll explore how Express simplifies the way developers build, run, and deploy containerized applications on Azure, reducing friction between local development and cloud deployment.

We’ll also look at how sandboxes extend the story by providing isolated, programmable, and stateful compute environments for scenarios such as AI code execution, agent workflows and interactive sessions.
Together, these capabilities show how Azure Container Apps is evolving beyond simply running containers, offering more focused compute experiences for modern cloud-native and AI-driven applications.
