Azure tooling blogged about how one would deploy a springboot application to their cloud: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/java/azure/eclipse/azure-toolkit-for-eclipse-publish-spring-boot-docker-app?utm_content=buffer5739d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com

They're basically able to deploy a locally built jar as a docker container.

This is interesting in the sense that the hurdle for cloud-noobs is very low: The only thing they need to know is what Docker base image is required. The docker image is built and deployed by the cloud. They're not required to know about templates (new application wizard/template), have a remote git repo for the code (new application wizard/builder image), nor build a docker image locally (push docker image wizard)
