Reason for the article

In 9.5 we are adding support for Azure Container App Jobs in ACA. See Support for container app job (dotnet/aspire#11302). We should update our existing ACA docs or add a new doc for this.

Article abstract

Azure Container Apps jobs enable you to run containerized tasks that execute for a finite duration and exit. You can use jobs to perform tasks such as data processing, machine learning, or any scenario where on-demand processing is required.

To use Azure Container Apps jobs in Aspire, you can use the following in your AppHost code:

builder.AddProject<Projects.DataProcessor>("data-processor")
    .PublishAsAzureContainerAppJob((_, job) =>
    {
        job.Configuration.TriggerType = ContainerAppJobTriggerType.Schedule;
        job.Configuration.ScheduleTriggerConfig.CronExpression = "0 0 * * *"; // Every day at midnight
    });
