CoreAzure Container Apps
Managed application-oriented container environment with revisions and autoscaling.
Key points

- Provides ingress and supported HTTP or event-driven autoscaling.
- Can split traffic among revisions for controlled application releases.
Best-known use cases
- Host an autoscaled HTTP API.
- Run an event-driven worker that can scale down when idle.
What candidates often confuse it with
- Container Apps vs ACI: application platform with revisions and scale rules vs direct container groups.
- Container Apps vs App Service: container-centric revision environment vs plan-based managed web platform.
