Answer

Azure Container Apps and Azure Container Registry
Azure Container Apps offers serverless container execution that scales automatically, fulfilling the requirement for zero cluster management overhead. Azure Container Registry provides a secure, private repository to manage and store container images.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the hosting requirements.
The web API is a simple containerized workload that requires automatic scaling and zero cluster management overhead.
This rules out services requiring manual server management or Kubernetes infrastructure administration.
2
Select the appropriate container hosting service.
Azure Container Apps is selected because it provides serverless hosting for containers without requiring cluster configuration or management.
Azure Container Apps is optimized for simple microservices and APIs needing serverless scaling.
3
Select the secure image storage service.
Azure Container Registry is selected to securely store the container images in a private registry.
Azure Container Registry is the standard managed private registry service in Azure.

Key Concept

Selecting managed container hosting and private image storage solutions to minimize administrative overhead.
