Containers as a service (CaaS) runs containerized applications in provider-managed cloud infrastructure. You supply an image and configuration; the platform handles virtual machines, Docker installation, networking, storage, capacity, and much of the availability work. section 14.0 section 14.1
Choose a managed container service when:
- The application has a simple architecture rather than many dependent services. section 14.1
- Scaling requirements are modest and detailed monitoring or five-nines reliability are unnecessary. section 14.1
- You want faster cloud migration and lower total cost of ownership without maintaining infrastructure. section 14.1
Run a container with Azure Container Instances
Create an Azure resource group, start a container from an image, and inspect its logs. Publishing a web container adds a public DNS name. Adjusting CPU and memory changes application performance and the Azure bill, so resource sizing is an operational decision. section 14.1
