Container instance dns using http and not https

Question

After creating a new container instance, a dns url (FQDN) is provided by Azure. The requests are served through http. Is it possible to use this dns with https as well? Instead of calling http://dns-url, we should be able to call https://dns-url.

ACI does not have a built in support for https. However, to enable a ssl connection you will need a webserver in your container with the required certs refer sidecar container or front your container with an application gateway. You can also consider using app service or kubernetes for achieving this.

For security advice see Azure security baseline for Container Instances.
