 Tools such as the [Azure Developer CLI](/azure/developer/azure-developer-cli/overview) (`azd`) support .NET Aspire SQL Server component configurations to streamline deployments. `azd` consumes these settings and provisions properly configured resources for you.
 
-> [!NOTE]
-> You can also use the [Azure CLI](/dotnet/aspire/deployment/azure/aca-deployment?branch=pr-en-us-532&tabs=visual-studio%2Clinux%2Cpowershell&pivots=azure-cli) or [Bicep](/dotnet/aspire/deployment/azure/aca-deployment?branch=pr-en-us-532&tabs=visual-studio%2Clinux%2Cpowershell&pivots=azure-bicep) to provision and deploy .NET Aspire app resources. These options require more manual steps, but provide more granular control over your deployments. .NET Aspire apps can also connect to databases hosted on other services through manual configurations.

+The `azd up` command acts as wrapper for the following individual `azd` commands to provision and deploy your resources in a single step:
+
+1. [`azd package`](/azure/developer/azure-developer-cli/reference#azd-package): The app projects and their dependencies are packaged into containers.
+1. [`azd provision`](/azure/developer/azure-developer-cli/reference#azd-provision): The Azure resources the app will need are provisioned.
+1. [`azd deploy`](/azure/developer/azure-developer-cli/reference#azd-deploy): The projects are pushed as containers into an Azure Container Registry instance, and then used to create new revisions of Azure Container Apps in which the code will be hosted.
+
+When the `azd up` stages complete, your app will be available on Azure, and you can open the Azure portal to explore the resources. `azd` also outputs URLs to access the deployed apps directly.
