Azure Container Instances
Azure Container Instances, or ACI, as we will refer to it from now on, allows organizations to run containers on Azure simply and launch them in seconds to access applications quickly.
The ACI service is billed on a per-second basis. Instead of managing the underlying virtual machine, you can specify the values for the computing power you need to run your container and define the values for CPU cores and memory.
ACI 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, as shown in the following figure:

By using the ACI service, you don’t need to manage virtual machines; ACI is a great solution where you can operate isolated containers and build applications, automation, and build jobs.
