# container_instance

# `prefect_azure.container_instance`

Integrations with the Azure Container Instances service.
Note this module is experimental. The interfaces within may change without notice.

The `AzureContainerInstanceJob` infrastructure block in this module is ideally
configured via the Prefect UI and run via a Prefect agent, but it can be called directly
as demonstrated in the following examples.

Examples:
Run a command using an Azure Container Instances container.

```python  theme={null}
AzureContainerInstanceJob(command=["echo", "hello world"]).run()
```

Run a command and stream the container's output to the local terminal.

```python  theme={null}
AzureContainerInstanceJob(
    command=["echo", "hello world"],
    stream_output=True,
)
```

Run a command with a specific image

```python  theme={null}
AzureContainerInstanceJob(command=["echo", "hello world"], image="alpine:latest")
```

Run a task with custom memory and CPU requirements

```python  theme={null}
AzureContainerInstanceJob(command=["echo", "hello world"], memory=1.0, cpu=1.0)
```

Run a task with custom memory and CPU requirements

```python  theme={null}
AzureContainerInstanceJob(command=["echo", "hello world"], memory=1.0, cpu=1.0)
```

Run a task with custom memory, CPU, and GPU requirements

```python  theme={null}
AzureContainerInstanceJob(command=["echo", "hello world"], memory=1.0, cpu=1.0,
gpu_count=1, gpu_sku="V100")
```

Run a task with custom environment variables

```python  theme={null}
AzureContainerInstanceJob(
    command=["echo", "hello $PLANET"],
    env={"PLANET": "earth"}
)
```

Run a task that uses a private ACR registry with a managed identity

```python  theme={null}
AzureContainerInstanceJob(
    command=["echo", "hello $PLANET"],
    image="my-registry.azurecr.io/my-image",
    image_registry=ACRManagedIdentity(
        registry_url="my-registry.azurecr.io",
        identity="/my/managed/identity/123abc"
    )
)
```

Terminal provisioning states for ACI container groups. Per the Azure docs,
the states in this Enum are the only ones that can be relied on as dependencies.

Use a Managed Identity to access Azure Container registry. Requires the
user-assigned managed identity be available to the ACI container group.

### `AzureContainerInstanceJobResult` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/integrations/prefect-azure/prefect_azure/container_instance.py#L125" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

The result of an `AzureContainerInstanceJob` run.
