Is there a timeout on running azure container instances

Yovel Cohen 25

Hi, I'm running a python app on a container instance that's triggered by a queue storage message. I wondered if there's a timeout on the function that processes the message?

Hello Yovel Cohen, Welcome to microsoft Q&A, Thankyou for posting your query here. Yes, there is a timeout on the function that processes the message triggered by a queue storage message.x The default timeout for Azure Functions is 5 minutes. If your function takes longer than 5 minutes to execute, it will be terminated. However, you can increase the timeout duration by setting the functionTimeout property in your host.json file. For example, to set the timeout to 10 minutes, you can add the following to your host.json file.

{ "version": "2.0", "functionTimeout": "00:10:00" }

please find the below link for the official documentation for host.json setting with Azure functions https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-host-json Hope this answer helps you, please consider accepting the answer to help increase visibility of this question for other members of the Microsoft Q&A community.

hi @Anveshreddy Nimmala thx, as I specified, I meant a timeout when using the azure container instances (for jobs) and not azure functions.

Hello Yovel Cohen, Azure Container Instances are suspended after 1,800 seconds, which is 30 minutes. If the container instance is not resumed within this time, it goes into a terminated state and the session ends. However, you can change the timeout duration by setting the --grace-period parameter when you create the container instance.

az container create --name mycontainer --image myimage --resource-group myresourcegroup --grace-period <time in seconds> Hope this helps you.
