**What are Container Instances?**\
\
Container instances are single containers that run on a cloud infrastructure without requiring you to manage the underlying virtual machines or orchestration platforms. They provide an easy and quick way to run containers, offering scalability and isolated environments for applications. Examples include Azure Container Instances (ACI) and AWS Fargate.

Click on the **Resource group** dropdown and select the resource group **computer-rg** option

**Note:** If you do not have a Resource group, you can create one by clicking on the **Create new** link option

Scroll to the **Container details** section and give the **Container name** as "**my-first-container-instance"**

Scroll to the **Image source** section and select the option **Quickstart images**

Scroll the page and click on the **Review + create** button

Wait for the **Validation** to get passed 

If your validation is displaying errors and hasn't passed, try troubleshooting by repeating previous steps and checking the validation again.

After the Validation is successfully passed, scroll the page and click on the **Create** button

After the deployment is complete, click on the **Go to resource** button

On **my-first-container-instance** wizard, click on the **Overview** from the left bar
