In this lesson, we will explore how to run container images using [Azure Container Instances](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances). This service simplifies the deployment of containerized applications to the cloud, offering a streamlined and scalable solution. Previously, we learned how to build container images and store them in [Azure Container Registry](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-registry). Now, our focus shifts to deploying and managing these container images using [Azure Container Instances](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances), emphasizing the benefits such as quick provisioning and ease of management. ## Key Topics In this lesson, you'll learn: * The advantages of deploying container images with [Azure Container Instances](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances). * How to efficiently deploy and manage container images in a cloud environment. * Methods for mounting secrets and environment variables, similar to practices used with [Azure App Service](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service). For more detailed information on configuration and commands, be sure to refer to the official [Azure Container Instances documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances). Let's dive in and learn how to efficiently run and manage containers with Azure Container Instances.
