# Air Container

> Deploy and manage containerized applications

Air Container is a workload that allows you to deploy and manage your own container images on AirCloud. It is ideal when you need full control over your runtime environment, dependencies, ports, environment variables, compute resources, and autoscaling behavior.

## When to Use Air Container

Air Container is recommended when you need to:

* Deploy your own model server or application container.
* Configure GPU specifications and the number of Replicas.
* Use Autoscaling together with Scheduled Scaling.
* Have greater operational control than Air API provides.
