Azure Container Instances offers the fastest and simplest way to run a container in Azure, without having to provision any virtual machines or learning 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.
Container Instances pricing
| METER | PRICE |
|---|---|
| Container group duration | Memory: ￥0.24995 per GB-h |
| vCPU: ￥0.027467 per vCPU-h |
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 16 GBs of memory to each vCPU. You can allocate up to 4 vCPU to each container group you deploy.

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 hours.
Memory duration:
Number of container groups * memory duration (hours) * GB * price per GB-h * number of days
1 container group * 5 hours * 1 GB * ￥0.24995 per GB-h * 30 days = ￥37.4925
vCPU duration:
Number of container groups * vCPU duration (hours) * vCPU(hours) * price per vCPU-h * number of days
1 container groups * 5 hours * 1 vCPU * ￥0.027467 per vCPU-h * 30 days = ￥4.12005
Total billing:
Memory duration (seconds) + vCPU duration (seconds) = total cost
￥37.4925+ ￥4.12005 = ￥41.61255
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 15 hours.
Memory duration:
Number of container groups * memory duration (hours) * GB * price per GB-h * number of days
50 container groups * 15 hours * 2 GB * ￥0.24995 per GB-h * 30 days = ￥374.925
vCPU duration:
Number of container groups * vCPU duration (hours) * vCPU(h) * price per vCPU-h * number of days
50 container groups * 15 hours * 1 vCPU * ￥0.027467 per vCPU-h * 30 days = ￥618.0075
Total billing:
Memory duration (hours) + vCPU duration (hours) = total cost
￥374.925 + ￥618.0075 = ￥992.9325
