This page summarizes common runtime settings used when deploying with Air Container.

​
Supported registries

  • GCP Artifact Registry
  • AWS ECR
  • GitHub Container Registry
  • Docker Hub
Private registries require authentication.

​
Common configuration fields

​
Start command

The command used to start the container process.

​
Port

The port your service listens on for external requests.

​
Health check URL

A path used to verify the container is healthy.

​
Metrics path

The path your application exposes metrics on, for example /metrics.

​
Health check timeout

How long to wait for a health check response. Default: 300 seconds.

​
Startup timeout

The maximum time allowed for the container to start successfully. Default: 600 seconds.

​
Environment variables

Key-value configuration required by your application. AirCloud also injects AIRCLOUD_AUTHORIZED_KEYS at deploy time, containing the SSH public keys registered for the container. See Connect with SSH.

​
Shared memory (/dev/shm)

The size of /dev/shm, for workloads that use shared memory such as a PyTorch DataLoader. Off by default, in which case half the instance memory applies. When set, it can range from 1 GB up to the instance’s memory size.

​
Container ID

The container’s identifier. Generated automatically, but you can set a fixed slug (lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens). It becomes part of the container’s public URL.

​
Public URL

Deployed containers are served at https://ap-1.aieev.cloud/endpoints/<container-id>. The create form previews the URL as you edit the container ID.

​
Operational recommendations

  • Manage public vs. private registry settings explicitly
  • Validate ports and health check paths before deployment
  • Re-check production environment variables before deploying
  • After changes, review logs and usage together
