Microsoft announced the general availability of Azure Container Instances (ACI) – a serverless way to run both Linux and Windows containers. ACI offers an on-demand compute service delivering rapid deployment of containers with no VM management and automatic, elastic scale.

In addition to the ease-of-use, ACI also offers deep security model, protecting each individual container at a hyper-visor level which provides a strong security boundary for multi-tenant scenarios.

Enabling this isolation without requiring you to create a hosting cluster is unique from other clouds and is a true cloud native model.
