Need help with understanding what exactly "cores" refers to for Azure container apps

I have a use case where I need the ability to provision unlimited container apps within an environment for which I am evaluating Azure Container apps.
While reading through this documentation for Consumption plan quotas , I noticed

  1. I need help with understanding what exactly does "Cores" mean here as I could not find any documentation that explains "Cores" in the context of Azure Container apps.
  2. Is 100 "Cores" per environment something to be concerned about when evaluating Azure Container Apps for the use case of provisioning unlimited "Container Apps"? Is there a possibility of running out of "Cores" or potential performance issues as more and more Container Apps are provisioned?

    Hello Dhruv.Parekh.

    Thanks for your question

    Cores refer to the vCPU cores allocated to your container applications.

    See: https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/container-apps/containersReplica Cores is the maximum number of CPU cores that a single instance/replica of your container app can be allocated while environment cores is the number of CPU cores that all the active replicas of container apps within an environment can collectively consume.

    Based on the Azure Documentation:

    • If an environment runs out of allowed cores:
      • Provisioning times out with a failure
      • The app may be restricted from scaling out
    • If you encounter unexpected capacity limits, open a support ticket

    You should consider the core limits and how they align with your application's resource requirements while planning.

    Regards,

    Abiola.
