How to expose multiple ports on Azure Container Instance?

Question

Is it possible to expose/open more than one port on an Azure Container Instance? I\'ve only been able to open one port per container.

I\'d like to run the equivalent of:

You can, but currently you can only do it with an Azure Resource Manager template. The CLI and the portal are both oriented towards the simple case: one container in the container group, and one exposed port in that container.

Here's an example resources section from an Azure Resource Manager template (see full template):

"resources": [
{
        "name": "myContainerGroup",
        "type": "Microsoft.ContainerInstance/containerGroups",
        "apiVersion": "2017-08-01-preview",
        "location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
        "properties": {
            "containers": [
                {
                    "name": "myContainer",
                    "properties": {
                        "image": "seanmckenna/aci-helloworld-multiport",
                        "ports": [
                            {
                                "port": "80" 
                            },
                            {
                                "port": "443"
                            }
                        ],
                        "resources": {
                            "requests": {
                                "cpu": "1.0",
                                "memoryInGb": "1.5"
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            ],
            "osType": "Linux",
            "ipAddress": {
                "type": "Public",
                "ports": [
                    {
                        "protocol": "tcp",
                        "port": "80"
                    },
                    {
                        "protocol": "tcp",
                        "port": "443"
                    }
                ]
             }
        }
    }
]

You can deploy the template using az group deployment create (full documentation):

az group deployment create -n myDeployment --template-file azuredeploy.json --parameters @azuredeploy.parameters.json -g myResourceGroup
