docker login azure

Coming later this year, an updated version of Docker Desktop will let you use Azure as a container runtime directly from your desktop.

$ docker login azure
$ docker context aci-create MyTestContext
$ docker context use MyTestContext
$ docker run duncan/my-web-app:1.1

Being able to directly access cloud compute like this from a development desktop will be super cool and useful. More importantly, it will remove a point of friction between developing something locally and deploying it somewhere you can share it with others.
