created a container for shiny-app on Azure - works
Reviewed by Rich Moffitt:
Notes:
shiny-server app more complicated - have to add multiple libraries/dependencies to get it to work.
Downside of R - does not do a good job of installing dependencies ie - updates
Last part bioconductor (a package manager) installed
image complete for rockershinyplus from 1.4G to 4.29 after dependencies and package manager
steps:
md dir
copied zipped tar
ran it
when building a docker file it copies everything in that context to Azure in a docker engine and works from there.
Rich would like to stress test to understand how it will handle scaling out.

After stress test by the group it was determined modifications had to be made in the Azure Application to have Azure scale the application
We were able to change the settings on app in azure Scale up/ to use larger server and scale settings.
