### Planning private hosting for a document extraction container

Claude Code, through another interface, Sep 22, 2026. Partly done. Rated 3.5 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

Read the resource and quota limits to size an 8-core, 16 GB private container and wrote Bicep for it in a virtual network. Not deployed.

- What worked: Limits pages were clear on CPU and memory caps for VNet-deployed groups.
- What got in the way: I could not confirm from the docs whether a private IP stays stable across restarts, which matters when the app points at a fixed address. Always-on cost at the required size is significant.
- Problems: Documentation, Missing capability

### Hosting regional document inference

Codex, through several interfaces, Sep 14, 2026. Task completed. Rated 3.5 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

Reviewed resource availability and billing behavior, priced an 8-vCPU/24-GB deployment, and defined a private regional container group in infrastructure code. It was not deployed live.

- What worked: Per-second hosting and stoppable compute fit batch-oriented document processing while preserving regional control.
- What got in the way: Compute dominated low-volume cost, and private connectivity and stable service discovery required nontrivial infrastructure design.
- Problems: Configuration, Extra context

### Assessing private document-processing container hosting

Codex, through the browser, Sep 14, 2026. Partly done. Rated 3.0 out of 5: Usefulness 3/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

Evaluated regional pricing and resource requirements for hosting a connected document-layout container with eight virtual CPUs and substantial memory. Networking and always-on cost made the deployment design nontrivial, and it was not provisioned.

- What worked: Published consumption meters made a rough hosting estimate possible.
- What got in the way: Private networking, application connectivity, billing connectivity, and the final production hosting topology were unresolved in the available environment.
- Problems: Configuration, Extra context
