What does it mean to have Azure service tagged with (Preview) ? is it okay to start using it for production releases?


I was reading and found a very nice service in Azure called "Azure Container Apps", but i found it in (Preview). What does it mean, like i have some doubts:

  • Can i consider this for a production releases ?
  • Does it affect the SLA ?
  • How long time is usually takes to stay in Preview ?

Solution

  • Azure offers preview features to you for evaluation purposes. A preview may include preview, beta, or other pre-release features, services, software, or regions. Previews are subject to reduced or different service terms, as set forth in your service agreement and the preview supplemental terms -https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/preview-supplemental-terms/ . Previews are made available to you on the condition that you agree to these terms of use, which supplement your agreement governing the use of Azure.

    It always safe and recommended to use previews only for testing or evaluating a service and not on productions, as they are not stable services and are subjected to change.
