Azure Container Instances (ACI)

Azure Container Instances (ACI) is a service that allows you to run containers in the Azure cloud without the need to manage virtual machines or underlying infrastructure. ACI provides a fast and flexible way to deploy containers for various use cases such as development, testing, and short-term applications. It offers features like automatic scaling, resource isolation, and support for multiple container images. With ACI, you can quickly spin up containers and manage them through the Azure portal or CLI, with minimal setup and configuration. This serverless approach to container management simplifies application deployment and scaling, enabling you to focus on your application code and reduce operational overhead.
