Azure Container Instances Flashcards
What allows you to launch containers without the need to worry about configuring or managing the underlying virtual machine?
Azure Container Instances (ACIs)
What are Container Groups?
Container Groups are collection of containers that get scheduled on the same host machine. The containers in a container group share: Lifecycle, Resources, Local network, and storage volumes.
What specifies what a container should do when its process has been completed?
A container restart policy
What are Container Environment Variables?
Environment variables (Env Vars) allow you to pass configuration details to your containers. Environment variables can be set via the Azure Portal, CLI or PowerShell.
How do we persist state beyond the lifetime of the container?
Azure Containers are stateless by default. When a container crashes or stops all state is loss. To persist state you need to mount an external volume.
