title: Can't connect to Azure SQL Database from Azure Container Instances
body: <p>I've built a Windows container with my app inside and ran it locally. The app in the container connects to an Azure SQL Database, using the domain name from the connection string. SQL Server is configured to accept clients from any IP and from Azure Services.</p>
  
  <p>Everything works fine locally. But when I run my container in Azure Container Instances, I get the following standard error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>A network-related or 
    instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL 
    Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the 
    instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote 
    connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed 
    because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, 
    or established connection failed because connected host has failed to 
    respond.)</p>
