This is exactly the service that Azure needs and doesn't seem to have: while there is a consumption plan for functions, that's about it, and App Service is incredibly expensive for what you get.
- GordonS 7y agoHave you seen Azure Container Instances (I just posted another comment about it just now, before I saw your comment). An aside, but I totally agree that App Service is way too expensive for the piffling amount of CPU/RAM they provide, even though I acknowledge the platform side of the offering is excellent.
- iamEAP 7y agoAs @GordonS mentions, Azure Container Instances is about as close as you’ll get with Azure, but it’s only close on ease-of-use: rather different from a deployment/scaling characteristics POV. I’m generally very underwhelmed by Azure offerings, but ACI is one of the few that actually lives up to what is advertised.
- ealexhudson 7y agoYeah, I did look at that, and I think you're right on ease-of-use - it's a deploy and done deal, which is nice. I think it suffers from two things: * the cost seems net-net similar to App Service, but more granular. So I can go this route and get slightly more flexible pricing, but at the cost of some arbitrary limits on assignable CPU/memory. * it's easy to wander into Azure Container Service stuff accidentally, and that has "deprecated" plastered all over it. Shame the naming doesn't separate them more clearly.
