Why use containers?
lightweight - every container shares the machine OS kernel
Isolated from other running apps, apps will have the same environment when containers run in different machines
Applications are safe as it uses isolation
Azure Container Instances?
What is
Run Docker containers on-demand in a managed, serverless Azure environment
run containers in azure without managing any virtual machines and without having to adopt a higher-level service.
Azure Container Instances?
Why
Fast startup times
start containers in Azure in seconds, without the need to provision and manage VMs.
exposing your container groups directly to the internet with an IP address and a fully qualified domain name (FQDN)
Container Access
Compatible with azure cli
Azure Container Instances?
Why
Custom Sizes
provides optimum utilization by allowing exact specifications of CPU cores and memory
Can be deployed in Azure Virtual Network

Azure Container Instances
I have a container image; I want to run it fast in the Cloud. Uptime is not very important to me.
Let's Compare!

Azure Container Apps
I have stateless microservices workloads, I want to run them and not deal with any infrastructure or container orchestrator whatsoever
microservices and API endpoints, event processing jobs, and always-on background tasks
Things you need to start
