Azure Container Apps Reference

The deploy scripts put everything in one resource group, agentos by default, and the container app is named agent-os. Override the group and region with AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP and AZURE_LOCATION (default eastus). Start with Deploy AgentOS on Azure for prerequisites and the first deployment.

Manage

Task	Command
Deploy code changes	`./scripts/azure/redeploy.sh`
Sync env variables	`./scripts/azure/env-sync.sh` (defaults to `.env.production`; pass `.env` to sync that instead)
Tail logs	`az containerapp logs show -g "${AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP:-agentos}" -n agent-os --follow`
Tear down	`./scripts/azure/down.sh` (add `--yes` to skip the confirmation)

env-sync.sh turns secret-shaped keys (OPENAI_API_KEY, DB_PASS, JWT_VERIFICATION_KEY, MCP_CONNECT_SECRET, AGENTOS_MCP_SIGNING_KEY, PARALLEL_API_KEY, SLACK_*) into Container Apps secrets and everything else into plain env vars, then applies it all in one revision roll. It skips AZURE_* keys; those configure the scripts, not the app. The app is pinned to one replica (--min-replicas 1 --max-replicas 1). Min 1 keeps the service available for scheduled work and MCP streams. The template has been validated with this single-process topology. Validate schedule registration and MCP streams before changing the maximum.

Use a dedicated AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP. down.sh deletes the entire selected group and every resource in it.

Production auth

Token-Based Authorization protects AgentOS routes by default in production. Startup requires JWT_VERIFICATION_KEY or a readable JWKS file at the container path in JWT_JWKS_FILE; otherwise the process exits. Token-Based Auth gives you three things:

Protected API access. Requests to protected AgentOS routes require a valid token. /, /health, /info, /docs, /redoc, /openapi.json, and /docs/oauth2-redirect remain public.
Per-request identity. Middleware validates the token and exposes its user_id, optional session_id, scopes, and claims to the request.
Scope-based permissions. Token scopes control access to AgentOS routes and resources.

The templates do not enable per-user data isolation. To scope non-admin session, memory, trace, and run access to the JWT subject, pass authorization_config=AuthorizationConfig(user_isolation=True) to AgentOS. See User Isolation. To disable JWT authentication, set authorization=False in app/main.py, remove JWT_VERIFICATION_KEY and JWT_JWKS_FILE from the Container App, and redeploy. authorization=False disables AgentOS scope enforcement. Configured JWT environment variables continue to enable JWT validation. MCP OAuth remains active when MCP_CONNECT_SECRET is set. Only do this when another layer protects the service.

Customize

Add an agent

Ask your coding agent to run /create-new-agent, or do it by hand. Create agents/my_agent.py:

from agno.agent import Agent

from app.settings import default_model
from db import get_postgres_db

INSTRUCTIONS = """\
What the agent does, which tools it uses, the rules to follow when answering.
"""

my_agent = Agent(
    id="my-agent",
    name="My Agent",
    model=default_model(),
    db=get_postgres_db(),
    instructions=INSTRUCTIONS,
    enable_agentic_memory=True,
    add_datetime_to_context=True,
    add_history_to_context=True,
    num_history_runs=5,
)

from agents.my_agent import my_agent

agent_os = AgentOS(
    ...
    agents=[agent_builder, platform_manager, web_search, my_agent],
)

Local containers hot-reload on save. For production, run ./scripts/azure/redeploy.sh.

Change the model

app/settings.py defines default_model(), used by every agent. Change it in one place:

from agno.models.anthropic import Claude

def default_model():
    return Claude(id="claude-sonnet-5")

Add anthropic to pyproject.toml. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in .env for local runs and .env.production for production, then regenerate pins:

./scripts/generate_requirements.sh

Before production sync, add ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to the is_secret_key() allowlist in scripts/azure/env-sync.sh. This stores the key as a Container Apps secret. Then rebuild and deploy:

./scripts/azure/env-sync.sh
./scripts/azure/redeploy.sh

Add tools

Agno ships 100+ toolkits. See Toolkits.

from agno.tools.slack import SlackTools

my_agent = Agent(
    ...
    tools=[SlackTools()],
)

Add dependencies

Edit pyproject.toml.
Regenerate pins: ./scripts/generate_requirements.sh (add upgrade to refresh every pin).
Rebuild locally with docker compose up -d --build, or redeploy with ./scripts/azure/redeploy.sh.

Enable Slack

Set both variables in your env file:

SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-...
SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET=...

Sync with ./scripts/azure/env-sync.sh. The interface activates automatically and routes messages to Agent Builder; change the agent= argument in app/main.py to point at another agent. See Slack setup.

Toggle scheduled workflows

The deployment check runs daily by default (ENABLE_DEPLOY_CHECK=True); it is deterministic and free. Scheduled evals are off by default (ENABLE_SCHEDULED_EVALS=False) because they use model calls. Both workflows stay runnable on demand regardless.

Format, validate, and run evals

The format, validate, and eval scripts run on the host and need a venv. Set it up once:

./scripts/venv_setup.sh
source .venv/bin/activate

Task	Command
Format	`./scripts/format.sh`
Lint and type-check	`./scripts/validate.sh`
Run smoke evals	`python -m evals --tag smoke`

./scripts/mcp_check.sh runs inside the container, so it needs no venv.

Environment variables

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`OPENAI_API_KEY`	Yes	-	Models and embeddings.
`RUNTIME_ENV`	No	`prd`	`dev` sets `authorization=False`, which disables AgentOS scope enforcement. Configured JWT environment variables continue to enable JWT validation. Compose sets `dev` locally; keep `prd` on Azure.
`JWT_VERIFICATION_KEY`	Production	-	Public key from os.agno.com. Quote the value so the multi-line PEM parses as one variable.
`JWT_JWKS_FILE`	Production	-	Path inside the running container to a JWKS JSON file. The scripts set only this path. Add the file to the image build context, rebuild, and redeploy the image, or configure a platform mount and roll the service.
`MCP_CONNECT_SECRET`	No	generated by `up.sh`	OAuth consent secret (16+ chars) for connecting claude.ai and ChatGPT to `/mcp`. `up.sh` generates one on deploy and writes it to `.env.production`.
`AGENTOS_MCP_SIGNING_KEY`	No	generated	Optional high-entropy signing-key material (32+ chars) for OAuth tokens. Unset, a strong key is generated and persisted in the database. Rotating it invalidates outstanding tokens.
`AGENTOS_URL`	No	`http://127.0.0.1:8000`	Scheduler base URL. `up.sh` sets it to your Container Apps URL. Scheduled jobs never fire if it stays at the default in production. When `MCP_CONNECT_SECRET` is set, OAuth metadata also derives its public origin from this URL.
`ENABLE_DEPLOY_CHECK`	No	`True`	Daily deployment-check cron.
`ENABLE_SCHEDULED_EVALS`	No	`False`	Daily run-evals cron. Uses model calls.
`EVALS_TAG`	No	`smoke`	Eval tag the run-evals workflow runs.
`EVALS_CASE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`	No	`90`	Per-case timeout for run-evals runs.
`EVALS_SUITE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`	No	`900`	Whole-suite timeout for run-evals runs.
`PARALLEL_API_KEY`	No	-	WebSearch uses the Parallel SDK when set, keyless MCP otherwise.
`SLACK_BOT_TOKEN`	No	-	Set with the signing secret to enable Slack.
`SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET`	No	-	Set with the bot token to enable Slack.
`DB_HOST` / `DB_PORT` / `DB_USER` / `DB_PASS` / `DB_DATABASE`	No	matches compose	Postgres connection. `up.sh` wires them to the Flexible Server.
`DB_DRIVER`	No	`postgresql+psycopg`	SQLAlchemy driver.
`AGNO_DEBUG`	No	`False`	Verbose Agno logs. Compose sets it for dev.
`WAIT_FOR_DB`	No	`False`	If `True`, the entrypoint blocks on the database before starting. Compose and the production deploy set it to `True`.
`AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP`	No	`agentos`	Resource group every deploy script targets. Never synced to the app.
`AZURE_LOCATION`	No	`eastus`	Region for the first `up.sh` run. Never synced to the app.
`AZURE_ACR_NAME`	No	generated by `up.sh`	Registry name. Minted once and saved to your env file so re-runs reuse it.
`AZURE_PG_NAME`	No	generated by `up.sh`	Postgres server name. Minted once and saved to your env file so re-runs reuse it.

up.sh also generates DB_PASS once and saves it to your env file. Don’t regenerate it; the server keeps the first password, and a new one would lock the app out.

Troubleshooting

az: command not found

Install the Azure CLI, then run az login.

up.sh or redeploy.sh says Docker is required

The image is built locally and pushed to your registry, so both scripts need Docker running. Start Docker Desktop and retry.

up.sh pauses asking for a JWT key

Expected. Mint the key at os.agno.com: connect your OS (Connect OS → Live, enter your Container Apps URL), then turn on Token-Based Authorization (JWT) under Settings → OS & Security and paste the full PEM. To add a PEM later, set JWT_VERIFICATION_KEY and run ./scripts/azure/env-sync.sh. To use JWKS, add the file to the image build context and rebuild, or configure a mount. Set JWT_JWKS_FILE to its container path, then redeploy or roll the service. Env sync alone only updates the path.

App fails to start in production

AgentOS scope enforcement is on whenever RUNTIME_ENV is not dev. Set JWT_VERIFICATION_KEY and sync. For JWKS, verify the file exists inside the container at JWT_JWKS_FILE; changing the variable alone does not deliver it. To disable JWT, set authorization=False in app/main.py, remove both JWT variables from the Container App, and redeploy. MCP OAuth remains active when MCP_CONNECT_SECRET is set.

Nothing at the app URL right after deploy

The revision is still converging. Wait a couple of minutes and check az containerapp logs show -g "${AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP:-agentos}" -n agent-os --follow.

up.sh failed partway through

Run it again. The generated names (AZURE_ACR_NAME, AZURE_PG_NAME) and DB_PASS persist in your env file, so re-runs use the same registry and Postgres server.

Scheduled jobs never fire

AGENTOS_URL is still the localhost default. up.sh sets it to your Container Apps URL automatically; for a custom domain or tunnel, set it by hand and run ./scripts/azure/env-sync.sh.
