+description: "Deploy Infisical with Azure Container Instances"
+---

+Prerequisites:
+- Have an account with [Microsoft Azure](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us)
+
+<Note>
+    This brief goes over how to deploy an instance of Infisical with Azure Container Instances without TLS/SSL configuration.
+
+    There are various options for enabling TLS/SSL with Azure Container Instances more suitable for production including:
+    - [Enabling a TLS endpoint in a sidecar container](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-container-group-ssl).
+    - [Enabling automatic HTTPS with Caddy in a sidecar container](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-container-group-automatic-ssl).
+    - Using Azure Function Proxies, Application Gateway, etc.
+</Note>
+
+<Steps>
+    <Step title="Create a container instance in Azure Container Instances">
+        1.1. In Azure, navigate to the **Container Instances** solution and press **Create**.
+
+        ![Azure container instance](/images/self-hosting/deployment-options/azure-container-instances/aci-select-container-instances.png)
+
+        ![Azure create container instance](/images/self-hosting/deployment-options/azure-container-instances/aci-create-container-instance.png)
+
+        1.2. In the **Basics** section, specify the **Subscription** and **Resource group** to manage the deployed resource.
+
+        Also, give the container a friendly name like Infisical and specify a **Region** for it to be deployed to.
+
+        ![Azure container instance basics](/images/self-hosting/deployment-options/azure-container-instances/aci-create-container-instance-basics-1.png)
+
+        Next, select the **Public** option under **Image type** and fill in your intended [Infisical public Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/infisical/infisical) in the **Image** field; this will pull the image from Docker Hub.
+
+        For example, in order to opt for Infisical `v0.43.4`, you would input: `infisical/infisical:v0.43.4`.
+
+        ![Azure container instance basics](/images/self-hosting/deployment-options/azure-container-instances/aci-create-container-instance-basics-2.png)
+
+        <Note>
+            Depending on your use-case and requirements, you may find it helpful to further configure your Azure container instance.
+
+            For example, you may want to adjust the **Region** option to specify which region to deploy the container for your
+            instance of Infisical to minimize distance and therefore latency between the instance and your infrastructure.
+        </Note>
+
+        1.3. In the **Networking** section, select the **Public** option under **Networking type**; this will make the container accessible over the public internet.
+
+        Next, under the **Ports** section, add an entry for port `8080` and protocol `TCP`.
+
+        ![Azure container instance networking](/images/self-hosting/deployment-options/azure-container-instances/aci-create-container-instance-networking.png)
+
+        1.4. Running Infisical requires a few environment variables to be set for the GCP Cloud Run service.
+        At minimum, Infisical requires that you set the variables `ENCRYPTION_KEY`, `AUTH_SECRET`, `MONGO_URL`, and `REDIS_URL`
+        which you can read more about [here](/self-hosting/configuration/envars).
+
+        In the **Advanced** section, fill in the required environment variables.
+
+        <Note>
+            To use more features like emailing and single sign-on, you can set additional configuration options [here](/self-hosting/configuration/envars).
+        </Note>
+
+        ![Azure container instance advanced](/images/self-hosting/deployment-options/azure-container-instances/aci-create-container-instance-advanced.png)
+
+        1.5. Finally, in the **Review + create** section, double check the information from the previous steps and press **Create** to create the Azure container instance.
+
+        ![Azure container instance review](/images/self-hosting/deployment-options/azure-container-instances/aci-create-container-instance-review.png)
+    </Step>
+    <Step title="Navigate to your deployed instance of Infisical">
+
+        Head to the **Overview** page of the newly-created container instance to view its **IP address (Public)**; you can access your instance of Infisical by this IP address under the port `:8080`. 
+
+        For example, in the image below, the IP address of the sample deployed container instance is `4.255.87.109`; the instance would be accessible in the browser by heading to `4.255.87.109:8080`.

+  <Accordion title="Do you have any recommendations for deploying Infisical with Azure Container Instances?">
+    Yes, here are a few that come to mind:
+    - In step 1.2, we recommend pinning the Docker image to a specific [version of Infisical](https://hub.docker.com/r/infisical/infisical/tags)
+    instead of referring to the `latest` tag to avoid any unexpected version-to-version migration issues.
+    - In step 1.2, we recommend selecting a **Region** option that is closest to your infrastructure/clients to reduce latency.
+    - Enable TLS/SSL with Azure Container Instances. There are various options for doing so including [enabling a TLS endpoint in a sidecar container](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-container-group-ssl), [enabling automatic HTTPS with Caddy in a sidecar container](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-container-group-automatic-ssl), and using Azure Function Proxies, Application Gateway, etc.
+
+    We're working on putting together a fuller list of deployment best practices as well as minimum resource configuration requirements for running Infisical so stay tuned!
