Container Instance CPU setting
Hello,
Can the number of CPU cores for a container be a decimal value, for instance 0.1?
Best regards,
Werner.
Got your point!
Yes, for your scenario, it sound better to run it in some sort of downscaled VM environment.
Azure Container Instance is also billed for each second it runs, so if you need something that lays around and process data constantly, it would get rather costly compared with the cheapest VMs. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/container-instances/
A quick guestimate would look like this for 1 CPU and 1 GB RAM (24hrs)
ACI: $2.16
VM (B1S): $0.312

Edit: Tried to fix some formating
Hi Werner!
You cannot use decimal values when defining the number of CPUs on a Azure Container Instance.
Can I ask why you would want to use only one tenth of a CPU core?
