What's new in November 2024

Update Description
Serverless GPUs on Azure Container Apps (Public Preview) Serverless GPUs brings the power of NVIDIA A100 and T4 GPUs to a serverless environment. This feature allows AI development teams to focus on their core AI code without worrying about managing infrastructure. With serverless GPUs, you get a middle layer between Azure AI Model Catalog's serverless APIs and hosting models on managed compute, ensuring full data governance as your data never leaves the container boundaries.
Dynamic Sessions - Python code interpreter and customer container sessions #1331 (GA) This feature provides instant access to compute sandboxes for running untrusted code at scale, with each session protected by industry-standard Hyper-V isolation.
Dynamic Sessions - JavaScript code interpreter sessions (Public Preview) JavaScript code interpreter sessions is now available, supporting the execution of untrusted code on the Node.js runtime.
Private Endpoints #867 (Public Preview) This feature enables customers to connect to their Container Apps environment using a private IP address in their Azure Virtual Network, eliminating exposure to the public internet and securing access to their applications. With private endpoints, customers can also connect directly from Azure Front Door to their workload profile environments over a private link instead of the public internet.
Planned Maintenance #1144 (Public Preview) This feature allows you to control when non-critical updates are applied to your Container Apps environment to minimize downtime and impact to applications. Non-critical updates include minor security patches, bug fixes, and new releases. Critical and urgent updates, however, are applied as needed to ensure security and reliability compliance, even outside of planned maintenance windows.
Aspire Dashboard 9.0 #1335 .NET Aspire 9 simplifies the acquisition of .NET Aspire and adds new features like starting and stopping apps from the dashboard, viewing scaled-to-zero apps, and an improved UI.
New Workload Profile app metrics (Public Preview) For apps, we now support CPU Usage Percentage, Memory Percentage, and Average Response Time. These metrics help you understand node capacity and set alerts for performance issues.
New Workload Profile environment metrics #1205 (Public Preview) For environments, we now support Workload Profile Node Count to determine node utilization, so you can update the maximum count. Until the metrics blade is available in the portal for Container App Environments, you can view the new metrics by going to the portal blade for Azure Monitor.
