You are deploying a microservice to Azure Container Apps. The service handles variable traffic — near-zero traffic at night and thousands of requests during business hours. You want to minimize cost during low-traffic periods. Which scaling configuration should you set?

Set minimum replicas to 0 and maximum to 20 with HTTP concurrent requests scaling rule. Setting minimum replicas to 0 allows Azure Container Apps to scale to zero when there is no traffic, eliminating compute costs during idle periods. HTTP scaling rules automatically spin up replicas when requests arrive and scale back down (including to zero) when traffic drops.
