AI integration with Azure Container Apps

Azure Container Apps is a serverless container platform that simplifies the deployment and scaling of microservices and AI-powered applications. With native support for GPU workloads, seamless integration with Azure AI services, and flexible deployment options, it is an ideal platform for building intelligent, cloud-native solutions.

GPU-powered inference

Use GPU accelerated workload profiles to meet a variety of your AI workload needs, including:

  • Dedicated GPUs: best for continuous, low-latency inference scenarios.
  • Scale to zero: automatically scale down idle GPU resources to minimize costs.

Deploying Azure AI Foundry models

Azure Container Apps integrates with Azure AI Foundry, which enables you to deploy curated AI models directly into your containerized environments. This integration simplifies model deployment and management, making it easier to build intelligent applications on Container Apps.

Sample projects

The following are a few examples that demonstrate AI integration with Azure Container Apps. These samples showcase various AI capabilities, including OpenAI integration, multi-agent coordination, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) using Azure AI Search.
