Add Support for an Azure Container Instance Provisioner
Add support for using an Azure Container Instance as a provisioner.
Expected Behaviour
The behavior would be similar to the droplet provisioner except it would use a container instance resource on azure instead of a digital ocean droplet.
Current Behaviour
Currently inlet servers are only supported on digital ocean and packet.
Context
inlet provides a very nice way to expose services from a private cluster. It would be great if azure customers could leverage this functionality.
Sounds good to me, I'd be happy to accept a PR for this @juan-lee
What are the costs of the ACI per month? Could you add table to the README with an estimation?
For Packet it's the $0.07, for DigitalOcean it's 5 USD / mo.
Thank you!
Alex
Please see the following for the pricing grid: https://github.com/alexellis/inlets-operator/issues/8
@alexellis The cost for ACI is around $40/month. Azure's cheapest VM will also be around the same price. It's a far cry from $5/mo you get on digital ocean, but is a little better than $0.07/hr (~$51/mo) on packet.
I'll add a table to the README. Thanks!
Thank you, hopefully folks with Azure credits and at MSFT will find it useful, despite the rather exorbitant cost.
No problem. You'll need to PR to the inletsctl project which is vendored here.
@juan-lee Is there any reason you chose ACI to implement an azure server rather than a vm? A B1S vm would cost only cost around 6 dollars a month and could work like the EC2 provisioner.
