Is there a way to execute a command in a container hosted in ACI? I'm looking for something like this:

docker container exec [image] [command]

You can use the Azure CLI tools, with a command like:

az container exec -g container-group --name container-name --exec-command "/bin/bash"

For more information, see this document: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-exec

However, I've noticed that I currently cannot select the user to run the command as (such as docker exec -u "user").

Not yet, but it's on our list. For the moment, the best you can do is SSHing into the container and running your command that way.

    Can you point me to information on how I can do that with an ACI container? There's no indication in the documentation where/how to connect. Would I do it through the public IP? – Dave Swersky Sep 21 '17 at 19:14
