Hi Balaji R,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform.

The error message indicating that the CriContainerActivator is not ready, could you please check the health of the node.

Please the image exists in the container registry and that the image name is typed correctly in the ACI deployment configuration.

Check the restart policy ("Always," "OnFailure," or "Never") aligns with the intended use case. it should be the "OnFailure" or "Never" for the container's configuration.

Please find the below documentation for your reference:

I hope this helps!
