Microsoft Azure Container Apps eligible for Savings Plans

Microsoft have announced that Azure Container Apps are now eligible for coverage with Azure compute savings plans, receiving discounts of 15% and 17% with the 1 year and 3 year plans respectively.

With savings plans, you commit to an hourly amount of Azure spend (say £5) and then any eligible services you use receive the discounted rate up to that amount. Anything over £5 will be charged at the regular PAYG rate:
