Description

Azure Container Instances (ACI) – which helps developers quickly build apps without managing virtual machines – now supports Windows Server 2019-based containers. This update is currently in public preview.

Windows Server 2019 allows for far lighter containers as compared to currently supported Windows Server 2016. Lighter containers enable faster deployments, making it easier for customers to dynamically scale workloads on ACI.
