You are designing a container solution in Azure that will include two containers. One container will host a web API that will be available to the public. The other container will perform health monitoring of the web API and will remain private. The two containers will be deployed together as a group.
You need to recommend a compute service for the containers. The solution must minimize costs and maintenance overhead.
What should you include in the recommendation?

  • A. Azure Service Fabric
  • B. Azure Container Service
  • C. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Answer is D See below: Azure Container Instances is a great solution for any scenario that can operate in isolated containers, including simple applications, task automation, and build jobs. For scenarios where you need full container orchestration, including service discovery across multiple containers, automatic scaling, and coordinated application upgrades, we recommend Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-overview#linux-and-windows-containers

Only ACI has a concept of "Container Group" indicated in the requirements. Others have a concept of "Cluster" instead. So, I bet ACI is the compute service solution.

Azure Container Instances supports the deployment of multiple containers onto a single host using a container group. A container group is useful when building an application sidecar for logging, monitoring, or any other configuration where a service needs a second attached process.

Answer D. Azure Container Instances > Provides container groups that get scheduled/run on the same host machine. Within a container group, container instances can reach each other via localhost on any port. So monitoring via network is possible. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-container-groups#networking

Docs: "Multi-container groups currently support only Linux containers. For Windows containers, Azure Container Instances only supports deployment of a single container instance." As per this, it appears like Container Instance will not support windows containers for grouped containers so its not clear from the question but we can't assume windows container is not required so I doubt if D will be a valid answer

A container that montitors another container typically sounds like a sidecar container pattern and I doubt you can realize it with something else then Kubernetes/AKS .... Either the question is old either the answer is odd ...

Microsoft is decommissioning "Azure Container Instance" from Jan 2020 and suggested to use Azure Kubernetes Service (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-overview) C, is the correct answer.

I *think* b/c the solution does not required CI/CD or orchestration, the a container instance in this case is correct. I know the AKS questions and answers reference CI/CD and orchestration as the discriminating factor.

This information is wrong. Check the provide link. 1. Azure Container Instances is a great solution for any scenario that can operate in isolated containers, including simple applications, task automation, and build jobs. For scenarios where you need full container orchestration, including service discovery across multiple containers, automatic scaling, and coordinated application upgrades, we recommend Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). 2. Important Starting January 13, 2020, Azure Container Instances will require all secure connections from servers and applications to use TLS 1.2. Support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 will be retired.
