ODSA for Java Developers (Part 4) — Connecting to Oracle ADB from a Spring Boot 3.0 App with Spring Data JPA on Azure Container Apps

Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure (ODSA)

by Juarez Junior

Introduction

Part 1 in this series introduced the Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure (ODSA), its benefits concerning a multi-cloud strategy, and an example of accessing it from a Java application with the JDBC API.

Part 2 explored another scenario with ODSA and a Spring Boot 3.0 application with Spring Data JPA on Azure App Service.

In Part 3, we deployed the same application to Azure Spring Apps, a fully managed service from Microsoft and VMware.

This blog post is about a container image for the sample application, deploying the image to Azure Container Registry, then using it to deploy the application to Azure Container Apps.
