Container Groups

Container groups contain a set of containers that share their life cycle, resources, network configuration, and storage resources, essentially grouping them. Containers within a container group are scheduled together on the same host (the server on which these run) and in ACI, which is the top-level resource. Container groups can consist of one or more containers.

Figure 14.2 shows an example container group that contains two containers scheduled on the same host. The container group exposes port 80 as the default configuration on a single public IP (an IP accessible from the internet) and has a public DNS label associated with it. The container group also contains two different storage accounts, each of which is associated with one of the containers. Of the two containers, one container exposes port 80 while the other exposes port 1433. On private ports, as illustrated in the following diagram, private refers to ports, IP, or DNS being restricted to access within...
