Azure Container Instances offers the fastest and simplest way to run a container in Azure, without having to provision any virtual machines or learn new tools – it’s just your application, in a container, running in the cloud. With Azure Container Instances, you can easily run containers with a single command. Get started in seconds and lower your infrastructure costs by taking advantage of per-second billing and custom machine sizes.

Azure Germany is available to customers and partners who have already purchased this, doing business in the European Union (EU), the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and in the United Kingdom (UK). It provides data residency in Germany with additional levels of control and data protection. You can also sign up for a free Azure trial.
Pricing Details
Azure Container Instances bill at the “container group” level which are assignments of vCPU/Memory resources that can be used by a single container or split by multiple containers. Container groups are co-scheduled containers that share the same network and node lifecycle. The price depends on the number of vCPU and GBs of memory allocated to the container group. You are charged for each GB and vCPU second that your container group consumes. There is an additional charge of $- per vCPU second for Windows software duration on Windows container groups.

Container group duration is calculated from the time that we start to pull your first container's image (for a new deployment) or your container group is restarted (if already deployed), until the container group is stopped. For each container group, you can allocate a minimum of 1 vCPU and 1 GB, up to 7 GBs of memory to each vCPU. You can allocate up to 4 vCPU to each container group you deploy.
Public IP addresses
Public IP addresses assigned to your container group are billed at standard Azure rates.
Pricing Example
Example 1:
You create a Linux container group with a 1 vCPU, 1 GB configuration once daily during a month (30 days). The duration of each container group is 5 minutes (300 seconds).
Memory duration:
Number of container groups * memory duration (seconds) * GB * price per GB-s * number of days
1 container group * 300 seconds * 1 GB * $- per GB-s * 30 days = $-
vCPU duration:
Number of container groups * vCPU duration (seconds) * vCPU(s) * price per vCPU-s * number of days
1 container groups * 300 seconds * 1 vCPU * $- per vCPU-s * 30 days = $-
Total billing:
Memory duration (seconds) + vCPU duration (seconds) = total cost
$- + $- = $-
Example 2:
You create a Linux container group with a 1 vCPU, 2 GB configuration 50 times daily during a month (30 days). The container group duration is 150 seconds.
Memory duration:
Number of container groups * memory duration (seconds) * GB * price per GB-s * number of days
50 container groups * 150 seconds * 2 GB * $- per GB-s * 30 days = $-
vCPU duration:
Number of container groups * vCPU duration (seconds) * vCPU(s) * price per vCPU-s * number of days
50 container groups * 150 seconds * 1 vCPU * $- per vCPU-s * 30 days = $-
Total billing:
Memory duration (seconds) + vCPU duration (seconds) = total cost
$- + $- = $-
