Azure Container Instances is the quickest and easiest way to run containers in Azure and offers a cost-effective per-second billing model. In this course, Azure Container Instances: Getting Started, you'll learn how to create and manage your ACI containers with a few simple Azure CLI commands. First, you'll learn the basics of how to specify the networking, image location, and resource requirements of your containers. Next, you'll see how you can mount volumes to your containers. Finally, you'll explore the benefits of hosting multiple containers in a single container group to implement the "sidecar" pattern and add elastic scale to a Kubernetes cluster.
