What is Azure Container Instances
Containers are becoming the preferred way to package, deploy, and manage cloud applications. Container Instances offers the fastest and simplest way to run a container in Azure, without having to manage any virtual machines and without having to adopt a higher-level service.
Azure Container Instances are a great solution for any scenario that can operate in isolated Containers offer significant startup benefits over virtual machines (VMs).
Azure Container Instances can start containers in Azure in seconds, without the need to provision and manage VMs. containers, including simple applications, task automation, and build jobs.
Azure Container Instances enables exposing your container groups directly to the internet with an IP address and a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). When you create a container instance, you can specify a custom DNS name label so your application is reachable at customlabel.azureregion.azurecontainer.io. Container Instances also supports executing a command in a running container by providing an interactive shell to help with application development and troubleshooting. Access takes place over HTTPS, using TLS to secure client connections.
Features Of Azure Container Instances
1. Run containers without managing servers
By running your workloads in Container Instances (ACI), you can focus on designing and building your applications instead of managing the infrastructure that runs them.
2. Increase agility with containers on demand
Deploy containers to the cloud with unprecedented simplicity and speed—with a single command. Use ACI to provision additional compute for demanding workloads whenever you need.
3. Secure applications with hypervisor isolation
Gain the security of virtual machines for your container workloads, while preserving the efficiency of lightweight containers. ACI provides hypervisor isolation for each container group to ensure containers run in isolation without sharing a kernel.
4. Elastic bursting with AKS
ACI provides fast, isolated compute to meet traffic that comes in spikes, without the need to manage servers. For example, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) can use the Virtual Kubelet to provision pods inside ACI that start in seconds.
Deploy Docker Image by Using the Azure Container Instances
1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
2. Click on Create a Resource.
3. Search for Container Instances.
4. Click on Create.
5. Enter the following, on the Basic Tab of the Container:
• Subscription: Select your Subscription
• Resource Group: Select your Resource Group
• Container Name: Select a name for the Container such as k21democontainer
• Region: Select the Region
• Image Source: Select Quickstart images
• Image: Select your microsoft/aci-helloworld:latest (Linux)
• Click on Next: Networking
6. On the Networking Tab, add a DNS Name Label such as k21democontainer for the container and then click on Next: Advanced.
7. Click on Create.
Review Functionality Of Azure Container Instances
1. After deployment is successful, go to the resource.
2. On the Overview blade of the container instance, verify that Status is shown as Running.
3. On the Overview blade, copy the value of the container instance FQDN, then open a new browser tab, and paste the URL.
4. Make sure that the Welcome to Container Instance page is displayed.
5. Go back to your Container Instance, Click on Logs under the Containers Tab under Settings Blade.
Conclusion
So, Containers are becoming the preferred way to package, deploy, and manage cloud applications. Container Instances and also Deploy Docker Images.
