Affected area/feature

Azure container templates (csharp, go etc...)

Feature description

Given the advantages of ACA over ACI, it's beneficial to update the Azure container template to use ACA instead of ACI. ACA is more suited for hosting web apps due to its user-centric features and automatic scaling, while ACI is designed for burst-type workloads and lacks built-in support for web app-centric features such as scaling, load balancing, and certificate management.

Why is this important?

This change is crucial as it aligns the Azure container template with a service (ACA) that is better suited for hosting web apps. It provides a more user-friendly, cost-effective, and scalable solution compared to ACI, which is designed for burst-type workloads. Transitioning to ACA will enhance user experience and efficiency for projects that require web app hosting inside of containers on Azure.
