What is Azure Container Instances?
Microsoft Azure provides many services, and Azure Container Instances (ACI) is one of them. This service helps to run and manage containers and applications without managing the virtual machines. Using ACI, containers can get started within a few seconds without deploying or managing virtual machines. For deploying images, we can use the provided images (Linux and Windows from Docker Hub), the Azure container registry, or another image registry. We can specify the CPU and memory required as per the use. This service uses a Pay-as-you-go pricing model.
How To Deploy A Container To Azure Container Instances ?
In layman’s terms, how will it feel when a developer develops an app and a member of the testing team tries to test the application on his/her OS? They will have to install the packages, and libraries required to run the app. Well, in this case, the container makes it easy and faster to rapidly deploy and scale applications. The container provides an auto-scaling feature, when your containerized app gets more traffic, it scales up.
