[BUG] Container Instance instanceView is undefined

Description When getting a list of containerGroups and their containers, the instanceView value on both of them are undefined (and null using the CLI)

Code Snippet as a timer function

const msRestAzure = require("ms-rest-azure");
const { ContainerInstanceManagementClient } = require("azure-arm-containerinstance");

const clientId = "-";
const secret = "-";
const domain =  "-";
const subscriptionId =  "-";
const resourceGroupName = "-";

module.exports = async function (context, myTimer) {
    const timeStamp = new Date().toISOString();

    const creds = await msRestAzure.loginWithServicePrincipalSecret(clientId, secret, domain);
    const client = new ContainerInstanceManagementClient(creds, subscriptionId);
     const containerGroupList = await client.containerGroups.listByResourceGroup(resourceGroupName);
    containerGroupList.forEach(containerGroup => {
        containerGroup.containers.forEach(container => {
            context.log(`container: *${container.name}* instance view: ${JSON.stringify(container.instanceView)} ${JSON.stringify(containerGroup.instanceView)}`);
        })
    });


    context.log('JavaScript timer trigger function ran!', timeStamp);
};

Output:

container: *containerName*: instance view: undefined undefined 

CLI Output:

    "containers": [
      {

However, they appear in the beginCreateOrUpdate function (see the very end of the block):

@evanfrawley Thanks for reporting this. @nickzhums It looks like a bug from the service because both CLI and node SDK didn’t return the instanceview in the list result. Can you help to find someone from the service team to check on that?
