Simplifying container deployment with Azure Container Instances
In addition to AKS and Azure Container Apps, Azure Container Instances (ACI) offers a direct and efficient approach to running containers in Azure, removing the burden of managing virtual machines or relying on higher-level services.
Use cases and scenarios
ACI proves advantageous for diverse scenarios, primarily the following.
Standalone containerized applications
When you have a microservice-based architecture or a single-container application, ACI provides a hassle-free experience for running and managing your containers. For instance, ACI enables easy scaling and independent management of microservices, ensuring optimal resource allocation. Developers can containerize applications, such as Python web frameworks (Flask, for example), for seamless scalability and high availability. ACI abstracts away infrastructure concerns, allowing data analytics companies to deploy and manage containerized applications...
