I am trying to use the following to create a container in Azure:

New-NavContainer -accept_eula -containerName "test" -auth Windows -imageName 
"mcr.microsoft.com/businesscentral/sandbox:base" -includeCSide -enableSymbolLoading -licenseFile 
"licence.flf"
The reason I was using New-NavContainer is because it allows to specify the licence file.

But it doesnt seem to allow setting the ResourceGroup in Azure: So instead i tried using the following:

az container create --name ….

Does the New-NavContainer on host locally ?

getbc will create a fully fldeged VM with Docker and VS Code installed. Container could be access remotely if you need to do development and/or UAT.

If you have very specific inquiries about New-NAVContainer or navcontainerhelper library in general, I would strongly suggest you to post your inquiries here

But is that an actual container ?at the moment I can deploy to a container and just get the url and browse to it. Wil this create a VM as well ? Will it create a container in the Container Instances for me to browse to ?

It won't work.

You could use it on a local VM or in your own laptop.

You can also use http://aka.ms/getbc this will create everything for you (it is an Azure VM with Docker and all artifacts already installed).
