Is there a way to pick disk type when creating ACIs? For example choose to use SSDs for better performance?
I don't see any mentions of any disk options in documentation for az container create

By default, Azure Container Instances are stateless. If the container is restarted, crashes, or stops, all of its state is lost. To persist state beyond the lifetime of the container, you must mount a volume from an external store. Azure Container Instances can mount an Azure file share created with Azure Files. Azure Files offers fully managed file shares hosted in Azure Storage. Using an Azure file share with Azure Container Instances provides file-sharing features similar to using an Azure file share with Azure virtual machines.
See documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-volume-azure-files
Azure Container Instances offers the fastest and simplest way to run a container in Azure, without having to manage any virtual machines and without having to adopt a higher-level service.
It seems you cannot select which disk type to run the container, it's decided by Azure. You just can select the CPU and memory. For more details, see Azure Container Instances.
