Can I mount an NFS volume from a VM running as an NFS server to an ACI instance? Additionally, is it possible to mount a Blob Container as an NFS to an ACI instance?

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.
Azure Container Instances (ACI) do not support mounting Network File System (NFS) shares directly. ACI supports mounting Azure Files shares, which use the SMB protocol.
Azure Blob Storage does support the NFS 3.0 protocol, it is primarily for use with Azure Virtual Machines or on-premises systems. ACI does not support mounting Blob Storage as an NFS share.
For more information, please refer to the following documentations:

Yes, you can mount NFS (Network File System) file shares in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). This means you can use NFS to share files between different parts of your AKS setup.
For more information, please refer to the following documentations:
