Containerized Hybrid Deployment Options in Dagster+
Last updated: October 15, 2025
Dagster+ supports multiple containerized hybrid deployment options:
Kubernetes (AKS on Azure, or other Kubernetes clusters)
AWS ECS
Docker Agent
Azure Container Registry with Docker Agent on VM
For a lightweight containerized setup on Azure without Kubernetes:
Set up a Docker agent on an Azure VM
Configure Azure Container Registry (ACR) for image storage
Configure the Docker agent to pull images from ACR. Alternatively, Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) can be used for scalability
While Kubernetes is a common deployment option, it's not required for containerized deployments. The Docker agent can run containers without Kubernetes orchestration, providing a lighter-weight solution for organizations that don't need the full complexity of a Kubernetes setup.
