 Today Radius supports Bicep and Terraform Recipe drivers, so a Recipe can be a Bicep template or a Terraform configuration. It can also point to well-maintained community modules like the [Azure Verified Modules](https://azure.github.io/Azure-Verified-Modules/) or the [AWS Terraform modules](https://registry.terraform.io/namespaces/terraform-aws-modules). When pointing at a standard module, Radius resolves any `{{context.*}}` expressions in the Recipe's `parameters` against the resource being deployed and maps the module's outputs onto the resource's read-only properties via the `outputs` field, so no Radius-specific wrapping is required.

+# Recipe Packs
+
+A **Recipe Pack** is a manifest of recipes by Resource Type referenced in a Radius Environment. Each pack is a directory under `recipe-packs/` containing:
+
+- `<name>-recipe-pack.bicep`: declares one `Radius.Core/recipePacks` resource whose `recipes` map has an entry per Resource Type.
+- `README.md`: documents the pack, its parameters, and the recipes it includes.
+
+## Available Recipe Packs
+
+| Pack | Directory | Container platform | Other resource types |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Kubernetes (default) | [`kubernetes/`](kubernetes/) | Kubernetes | Kubernetes |
+| Azure AKS | [`azure-aks/`](azure-aks/) | Kubernetes | Azure managed services |
+| Azure ACI | [`azure-aci/`](azure-aci/) | Azure Container Instances | Azure Files and Key Vault only |
+
+## The default Recipe Pack
+
+The **Kubernetes Recipe Pack** ([`kubernetes/kubernetes-recipe-pack.bicep`](kubernetes/kubernetes-recipe-pack.bicep)) is the default: it is the pack `rad init` installs so a fresh Radius installation can deploy resources to the host Kubernetes cluster with no extra configuration. `rad init` embeds its own copy of this pack rather than fetching this file at run time, and the two are kept in sync.
+
+## How to create a new Recipe Pack
+
+1. **Create the folder and files.** Add `recipe-packs/<pack-name>/` with a `<name>-recipe-pack.bicep` and a `README.md`. Use a folder name that identifies the platform and, where a cloud offers more than one compute target, the compute runtime (for example `azure-aks`, `azure-aci`, `kubernetes`). Name the Bicep file `<short-name>-recipe-pack.bicep`.
+2. **Declare the pack.** In the Bicep file, declare a single `Radius.Core/recipePacks` resource whose `recipes` map has an entry keyed by each Resource Type (for example `Radius.Data/redisCaches`).
+3. **Wire each Recipe.** Point each entry at its module `source` and map `parameters` (using `{{context.*}}` expressions) and `outputs`. Reuse published modules such as Azure Verified Modules where possible, and reference in-repo Bicep recipes by their published OCI image.
+4. **Publish any in-repo Bicep recipes** the pack references by adding them to [`.github/workflows/publish-bicep-recipes.yaml`](../.github/workflows/publish-bicep-recipes.yaml) so the `source` images exist.
+5. **Enable releases.** Add the new folder name to the `recipe_pack` choice list in [`.github/workflows/release-recipe-pack.yaml`](../.github/workflows/release-recipe-pack.yaml). Packs are otherwise discovered automatically: any folder under `recipe-packs/` that holds at least one `.bicep` file is treated as a releasable pack.
+6. **Document it.** Give the pack a `README.md` following the existing packs, listing its parameters and the Recipes it wires.
+
+For guidance on authoring the Recipes themselves, see [Contributing Resource Types and Radius Recipes](../docs/contributing/contributing-resource-types-recipes.md#recipes-and-recipe-packs).

+# Azure ACI Recipe Pack
+
+This directory contains the **Azure ACI Recipe Pack**, a collection of Recipes that provision Radius Containers on Azure Container Instances (ACI), together with the Azure-backed volume and secret stores those workloads use.
+
+| File | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `aci-recipe-pack.bicep` | Recipe Pack wiring the Bicep recipes for the ACI-provisioned Resource Types. |
+
+The pack declares a single `Radius.Core/recipePacks` resource whose `recipes` map contains an entry per Resource Type. It does not define an Environment; reference the pack from an Environment configured with the Azure provider to make its Recipes available.
+
+## Recipes in this pack
+
+| Resource Type | Kind | Source |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `Radius.Compute/containers` | Bicep | `ghcr.io/radius-project/azure-aci-recipes/containers` |
+| `Radius.Compute/persistentVolumes` | Bicep | `ghcr.io/radius-project/azure-aci-recipes/persistentvolumes` |
+| `Radius.Security/secrets` | Bicep | `ghcr.io/radius-project/azure-aci-recipes/secrets` |
+
+`Radius.Compute/routes` and `Radius.Compute/containerImages` are not yet supported on ACI and are omitted. Data, messaging, storage, and AI Resource Types are not part of this pack.
+
+## Deploying
+
+Deploy the pack with the `rad` CLI to create the `Radius.Core/recipePacks` resource:
+
+```bash
+rad deploy recipe-packs/azure-aci/aci-recipe-pack.bicep
+```
+
+Because this pack does not define an Environment, reference it from an Environment configured with the Azure provider. For example, add the `azure-aci` pack to an existing Environment:
+
+```bash
+rad env update <env_name> --recipe-packs azure-aci
+```
+
+Once referenced, every Resource Type it covers can be used in an application deployed to that Environment.

Each Recipe Pack declares a single `Radius.Core/recipePacks` resource whose `recipes` map contains an entry for every Resource Type, plus a `Radius.Core/environments` resource that references the pack.
 
 Today Radius supports Bicep and Terraform Recipe drivers, so a Recipe can be a Bicep template or a Terraform configuration. It can also point to well-maintained community modules like the [Azure Verified Modules](https://azure.github.io/Azure-Verified-Modules/) or the [AWS Terraform modules](https://registry.terraform.io/namespaces/terraform-aws-modules). When pointing at a standard module, Radius resolves any `{{context.*}}` expressions in the Recipe's `parameters` against the resource being deployed and maps the module's outputs onto the resource's read-only properties via the `outputs` field, so no Radius-specific wrapping is required.

 3. **Wire each Recipe.** Point each entry at its module `source` and map `parameters` (using `{{context.*}}` expressions) and `outputs`. Reuse published modules such as Azure Verified Modules where possible, and reference in-repo Bicep recipes by their published OCI image.
 4. **Publish any in-repo Bicep recipes** the pack references by adding them to [`.github/workflows/publish-bicep-recipes.yaml`](../.github/workflows/publish-bicep-recipes.yaml) so the `source` images exist.
