What do you like best about Azure Container Instances?
Azure Container Instances allows you to instantly create a secure container for development use - without the need for virtual machines. This allows you to run any instances that can operate in isolated containers. These have many advantages over standard virtual machines.
Positives:
- Much faster to start than virtual machines
- Minimal provisioning/management needed compared to virtual machines
- Security - isolated to a hypervisor level Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Azure Container Instances?
- Running a constant 24 hours a day instance on the platform is much more expensive than running a virtual machine instance 24/7
- User interface isn't always the most intuitive - relatively new service so some sub-context menus aren't quite logical yet
However, this is a great service and I think that the positives outweigh the negatives, especially with MS Azure's superb customer/client relations team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Container Instances?
I can use the portal to create a container, no need to worry about provisioning virtual machines to host the container or installing software.
Instances can be created with a single-line PowerShell command and will be up-and-running in minutes.
Azure Container Instances also support container groups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Azure Container Instances?
Not yet possible to attach them to an Azure virtual network.
Running an instance 24/7 will be more expensive than running a virtual machine of the same size.
More expensive than Amazon Container Service, which has been the most popular. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Container Instances?
Because of Azure Container Instances (ACI), you can focus on designing and building your applications instead of managing the infrastructure that runs them,we can use it for data processing where source data is ingested, processed and placed in a durable store such as Azure Blob storage!!
