With Azure Container Registry, or ACR, we get a lot of great capabilities to host our Docker images in the Azure cloud. With that, as with everything else, comes security concerns we should not overlook. In this post I'm exploring how we can lock down all access to our ACR by default, and then enable access based on an IP address or range of IP addresses. This is similar to what I've already explained in another post about Secure your Azure Storage Accounts with restrictions based on public IP addresses. If you haven't seen that, take a look there how…

In this post I'm talking about how you can use something called secureValue, or secure environment variables, with your Azure Container Instance. Given the sensitive nature of some data you put into the variables, it is a good idea to understand different ways to protect some of that data - with secure environment variables you can hide the values from the UI and API calls to the ACI, and from the Azure Portal.
