Azure Kubernetes Services

Introduction to Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS)

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a managed container orchestration service that simplifies the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications using Kubernetes. This module provides an overview of AKS, including its core features, benefits, and use cases.

Setting Up Azure Kubernetes Services

Learn how to create and configure an AKS cluster. This section covers setting up your first AKS cluster, configuring node pools, and managing cluster settings. Explore how to integrate AKS with other Azure services.

Core Kubernetes Concepts

Discover fundamental Kubernetes concepts and how they apply to AKS. Learn about pods, deployments, services, and namespaces. Understand how Kubernetes handles container orchestration and management.

Managing Kubernetes Deployments

Understand how to manage and deploy applications in AKS. Learn about deploying containerized applications, managing replicas, and rolling updates. Explore how to use Helm charts for package management.

Scaling and Performance Optimization

Gain insights into scaling and optimizing the performance of your AKS cluster. Learn about horizontal and vertical scaling, resource requests and limits, and performance tuning strategies for efficient operation.

Networking and Service Discovery

Learn about networking in AKS, including service discovery, load balancing, and ingress controllers. Understand how to configure network policies and manage traffic within and outside the cluster.

Security and Compliance

Discover security best practices for AKS. Learn about securing your Kubernetes cluster, managing secrets, and implementing network policies. Explore how to comply with security and regulatory standards.

Monitoring and Troubleshooting

Explore tools and techniques for monitoring and troubleshooting AKS clusters. Learn how to use Azure Monitor, Kubernetes Dashboard, and other tools to track performance, identify issues, and resolve problems.

Integrating AKS with Other Azure Services

Learn how to integrate AKS with other Azure services such as Azure Container Registry, Azure DevOps, and Azure Active Directory. Understand how these integrations enhance your DevOps workflows and security.

Cost Management and Optimization

Understand cost management and optimization strategies for AKS. Learn about pricing models, cost control measures, and best practices for optimizing resource usage to manage expenses effectively.

Real-World Projects and Case Studies

Review real-world projects and case studies that illustrate the use of Azure Kubernetes Services. Learn from practical examples of how organizations have implemented AKS solutions to support their applications and business needs.
