Answer 1

Hi @Gopi Krishna Ajjampudi

Azure Container Instances allocates resources such as CPUs, memory to a multi-container group by adding the resource requests of the instances in the group.

Availability of compute, memory, and storage resources for Azure Container Instances varies by region and operating system.
Use the List Usage API to review current quota usage in a region for a subscription.

The maximum resources in a region are different depending on your deployment. For example, a region may have a different maximum CPU and memory size in an Azure virtual network deployment than for a general deployment. That same region may also have a different set of maximum values for a deployment with GPU resources. Verify your deployment type before checking the below tables for the maximum values in your region.

If your running on AKS you can use limits and requests to the pod containers. This will allocate the requested memory and CPU capacity.

Is it possible for you to share the error or description of the pod by using below

kubeclt describe pod <pod name > -n <namespace>

Please refer following for more details on limits and requests
