can't find dedicated in container apps Jobs

Question

Can't find the option to choose dedicated, can't find "dedicated" in quotas neither

I did try few regions before posting, none shows Dedicated (not even on container apps), even inside functions.

edit: okay so upon digging, it isn't setup in the container itself, you set it up in the workload profile first.

Hi Mohamed A. Amr,

Root Cause:

The Dedicated compute option does not appear directly in the Container Apps Job configuration or in the quota listings. This is because Dedicated compute is enabled via a Workload Profile at the Container Apps Environment level, not within the job itself.

Solution:

Enable Dedicated Compute for Container Apps Jobs:

Create or update your Container App Environment to include a Dedicated workload profile:

az containerapp env create --name my-env --resource-group my-rg --location eastus --workload-profiles workloadType=Dedicated,name=wp-dedicated,cpu=4,memory=8Gi

Or if the environment already exists:

az containerapp env update --name my-env --resource-group my-rg --add-workload-profile workloadType=Dedicated,name=wp-dedicated,cpu=4,memory=8Gi

When creating your Job, reference this workload profile:

az containerapp job create --name my-job --resource-group my-rg --environment my-env --workload-profile-name wp-dedicated --replica-timeout 1800  --trigger-type Manual --image myregistry.azurecr.io/my-image:latest --cpu 4.0 --memory 8.0Gi

Please keep it in mind:

• The Dedicated term refers to the workload type, not a visible setting in the job UI.
• Some regions may not support Dedicated workloads yet. You can verify regional support with:

az containerapp env list-usage --location <region>
