I am getting the following error in Azure when creating a Windows ACI on a virtual network in Azure:
"The requested resource is not available in the location 'westeurope' at this moment. Please retry with a different resource request or in another location. Resource requested: '2' CPU '4' GB memory 'Windows' OS virtual network"
It seems to me that Azure does not support this configuration at the moment, i.e. Windows ACI on Vnet: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-region-availability
The reason I am using a vnet is so I can run the (Oracle) database on another ACI and connect the webserver to it over the subnet. Is there another way I can do this?
The images are based on the following base images: - FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore/iis:windowsservercore-ltsc2019 - FROM oraclelinux:7-slim as base
I built and tested the images on my local network and they work fine (web server on Windows, Oracle on Linux).
The ACI deployed in the virtual network only supports the Linux container currently. See the message here:
Container resource limits may differ from limits for non-networked container instances in these regions. Currently only Linux containers are supported for this feature. Windows support is planned.
You can use other services such as AKS with Windows node. Or wait for the feature until it supports the Windows container.
