Create Container Instance

Container Instances are billed based on the total number of Container Instances created each month. You are charged $- for each container instance successfully created.

Container Instance Duration

Container Instance duration is calculated from the time your container begins executing until it terminates. The price depends on the number of Cores and GBs of memory allocated to the instance. You are charged $- for every GB-s and Core-s used. For each Container Instance, you can allocate 1 to 3.5 GBs of memory to each Core, with a minimum of 1 GB of memory allocated to each Core. You can allocate up to 4 Cores to each instance you deploy.

Pricing Example
