AZ-104 Certification Practice Question #203

Question

You have an Azure subscription.

You plan to deploy a container.

You need to recommend which Azure services can scale the container automatically.

What should you recommend?

Accepted Answer

Both Azure Container Apps and Azure App Service have built-in support for native automatic scaling of containers. Azure Container Apps scales containers dynamically using KEDA based on CPU/memory usage, HTTP traffic, or event-driven triggers (and can scale down to zero). Azure App Service allows hosting containers and supports automatic horizontal scaling (both metric-based autoscale and traffic-based automatic scaling). Conversely, Azure Container Instances (ACI) is a serverless container offer that does not support automatic scaling natively; scaling ACI requires manual intervention or a separate container orchestrator.
