I'm experimenting with deploying a SQL Server container app to Azure Container Apps, but it seems to be taking forever—like hours. Is this a common experience? What could be causing such a delay? Is it because of resource capacity issues?

Not at all! Typically, it takes less than a minute to publish. So if yours is taking hours, then something's definitely off.
Definitely not normal. How are you going about the publishing?
Usually, it shouldn't take that long to publish a container app. If it's dragging out for hours, it might be because the container image you're using is invalid or not accessible. You could try deploying with a basic 'hello world' image to see if it speeds things up. For me, the whole process usually takes less than a minute!
I'm using Azure CLI. I actually stopped the process, tried again, and it published in a minute or two this time. Weird, right?
