Ria Bhatia joins Scott Hanselman to discuss Virtual Kubelet and Azure's provider, the ACI Connector. The ACI Connector paired with Kubernetes enables you to quickly spin out container instances from an AKS cluster. This is the fastest way to scale a Kubernetes cluster in the cloud.For more information:Kubernetes Virtual Kubelet with ACI (GitHub + docs)Container Instances pricingCreate a free account (Azure)Follow @SHanselman Follow @AzureFriday Follow @rbitia

Justin Luk joins Scott Hanselman to discuss how Azure Container Instances provide a new compute primitive in the form of on-demand containers. ACI provides efficient, granular compute that starts in seconds with simple packaging and no VM management. Use ACI in new and existing infrastructure, including Kubernetes.For more information, see:Azure Container Instances DocumentationQuickstart: Create your first container in Azure Container InstancesContainer Instances (overview)Container Instances pricingAzure Roadmap: Azure Container Instances Azure Container Instances now generally available (blog)Learn about KubernetesAzure Kubernetes Service (AKS) serviceCreate a free account (Azure)
