What is Azure Kubernetes Service?
Deploying and managing containerized applications is a key task for your DevOps team. There are several options to take on the job, but which direction is best for your organization? Read this insightful blog post outlining the basics of Azure Kubernetes Service, the solution that reducees the complexity and overhead of managing Kubernets by seamlessly moving that responsibility to Microsoft Azure.
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a managed Kubernetes service designed to help you deploy and manage containerized applications with minimal container orchestration expertise. It simplifies the complexity and operational overhead of managing Kubernetes by transferring much of that responsibility to Azure, making it suitable for applications that require high availability, scalability, and portability.
How does AKS manage resources?
AKS automatically creates and configures a control plane at no cost when you set up an AKS cluster. Azure manages this control plane, which oversees the Kubernetes objects and worker nodes for your applications. It handles essential operations like health monitoring and maintenance, allowing you to only pay for the AKS nodes that run your applications.
What are the use cases for AKS?
AKS is versatile and can be used for various scenarios, including migrating existing applications to containers, managing microservices-based applications, implementing secure DevOps practices, training machine learning models, and processing real-time data streams. It also supports running Windows Server containers, making it a flexible choice for different workloads.
