Container Instances

A Container Instance is a serverless compute service that enables you to quickly and easily run containers without managing any servers. Container Instances run your containers on minimal compute instances that are optimized for container workloads.

A container instance is a minimal instance created from an image that runs only what is needed for containers. A container instance has no boot volume. A single user-specified container is started in the container instance.

Resources are created as needed. A container instance creates a 15 gigabyte ephemeral writable Data Volume. Persistent storage isn't supported for container instances.
