Azure Container Instances provide a Hyper-V isolated serverless hosted containers on demand. It can be thought of as a lower-level "building block" option compared to Container Apps. Azure Container Apps provide many *application-specific concepts on top of containers, including certificates, revisions, scale, and environments. However, if you're looking for a less "opinionated" building block, Azure Container Instances is an ideal option. Scenarios like controlled batch jobs, long-running jobs, or hosting managed compute environments are ideal for Azure Container Instances. Users often interact with Azure Container Instances through other services. For example, Azure Kubernetes Service can layer orchestration on top of container instance through [virtual nodes](../aks/virtual-nodes.md).
