Spawn containers on ACI using #azure/arm-containerinstance - node.js

Question

I am working on processing data microservice. I have this microservice dockerized and now I want to deploy it. To achieve it, I am trying to manage containers in Azure Container Instances using Azure Function written in node.js.
The first thing I wanted to test is spawning containers within a group. My idea was:
const oldConfig = await client.containerGroups.get(
'resourceGroup',
'resourceName'
);
const response = await client.containerGroups.createOrUpdate(
'resourceGroup',
'resourceName',
{
osType: oldConfig.osType,
containers: [
...oldConfig.containers,
{
name: 'test',
image: 'hello-world',
resources: {
requests: {
memoryInGB: 1,
cpu: 1,
},
},
},
],
}
);
I've added osType, because docs and interface says it's required, but when I do this I receive error 'to update osType you need to remove and create group containers". When I remove osType, request is successful, but ACI does not change. I cannot recreate whole group upon every new container, because I want them to process jobs and terminate by themselves.

Answer 1

Not all the properties are supported to update. See the details below:
Not all container group properties can be updated. For example, to
change the restart policy of a container, you must first delete the
container group, then create it again.
Changes to these properties require container group deletion prior to
redeployment:
OS type CPU, memory, or GPU resources Restart policy Network profile
So the container group will not change after you update the osType. You need to delete the container group and create it with the changes. Get more details about the Update.
