Create a Container Application

The Cloudonix REST API Data Models define a container application as:

The Container Application model stores an installation of a voice application that is hosted and served directly from Cloudonix servers. The software source code that executes the Cloudonix voice application is stored in Cloudonix servers and is executed on-demand by the Cloudonix APP.core voice application runtime - in a similar way to how "serverless applications" are hosted in Amazon Web Services Lambda or Azure Functions.

Click the Container Applications resource link to access the Container Applications View; the following screen will appear:

Click the purple Plus button to create a new Container Application; the following screen will appear:

Container applications are based upon pre-defined Blocks, where each block may be implemented a different technology runtime. We recommend that you read more about container applications, in the Cloudonix REST API Data Models section.

For now, we shall create a simple container application, using a static runtime. Use the following information to fill the container application form:

Title	Value	Description
Application Name	`myFirstContainerApplication`	A unique container application name.
Runtime	`static`	The container application runtime, to be used with the below code block.
Code Block	See below	The container application execution code.

The Code Block

main
<Response>
  <Pause length="2" answer="true" />
  <Say>Hello World, it is great to be alive. Good bye now.</Say>
  <Hangup />
</Response>

Once you've entered all information into the code editor, simply click the Create Application Container button to save your container application. The following screen will appear:

Click the application name to expand the code editor, which will show the main block and the associated CXML code:

Congratulations, your container application is now ready to be attached to a voice application.
