Security for Azure Kubernetes Service
Learn how to secure compute services.
We'll cover the following...
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), part of Microsoft Azure, is a solution for orchestrating Microsoft-managed containers. It is meant to make it much easier to deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications on a vast scale. The Kubernetes open-source project, an example of a container orchestration system, serves as the foundation for the AKS platform. Because AKS hides the infrastructure underneath, application developers no longer have to worry about how to deploy and manage their software. AKS can be used in various deployment scenarios, including stateless and stateful application workloads, batch processing workloads, and machine learning workloads.
Features of AKS
The features provided by Azure Kubernetes are described as follows:
Container orchestration: AKS offers functionality for our containerized applications, such as automatic scaling and load balancing, self-healing, and the ability to recover from failures. It also makes it simple to manage the deployments of our applications and bring out updated versions of those applications.
Integration: The AKS platform works with various container technologies, such as Docker and Windows containers. It also interfaces with other Azure services, such as Microsoft Entra ID, Azure DevOps, and Azure Monitor, which makes it simpler to construct and deploy end-to-end solutions using the Azure platform.
Scalability: AKS allows applications to be scaled up or down based on demand. AKS can automatically increase the number of nodes in a cluster based on how many requests are coming in. This helps to guarantee that applications are constantly accessible ...
