Public Preview: Dynamic sessions shell environment and MCP support in Azure Container Apps

Azure Container Apps now supports dynamic shell sessions in public preview. A shell session is a platform-managed built-in container used to run and execute common shell commands in an isolated sandboxed environment.  

With Azure Container Apps dynamic sessions supporting empty shell sessions and an integrated MCP server, customers can instantly provide agents with secure, isolated sandboxes for tasks like code execution, tool testing, or workflow automation. This enables seamless integration into agent frameworks, allowing agents to access disposable compute environments on demand. Customers benefit from rapid provisioning, enhanced security, and reduced operational overhead for agentic workloads.
