Azure Container App without Load Balancer

Question

Hi everyone. I have an application where only outbound connections are required. I have deployed Azure Container App with 5 microservices and it works fine for $2 per day. But I found today that I also pay for Load Balancer and Static Public IP and this is another $2 per day. These resources were created automatically in separate group and I can't delete them. This is ridiculous, my price was doubled and I don't need any balancing at all. Is it possible to create Container App without any "automatic" Load Balancers?

Hi Andrei,

When you choose to use your own virtual network several managed resources will be created automatically, and you are charged for those (as you noticed). One option is to use automatically generated virtual network instead of your own, but you will not have as much control.

If you want to switch to different VNet configuration you will need to create from scratch since you can't change it after creation.
