Key Features

  1. Managed Kubernetes Service:
    • Azure Kubernetes Service is a fully managed service that abstracts away the complexities of deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters. It allows users to focus on building and running applications rather than managing the underlying infrastructure.
  2. Easy Cluster Creation:
    • AKS makes it easy to create Kubernetes clusters through the Azure Portal, Azure CLI, or Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates and Terraform.
  3. Integrated Developer Experience:
    • AKS is integrated with popular developer tools, such as Visual Studio Code and Azure DevOps, providing a seamless experience for building, testing, and deploying containerized applications.
  4. Cluster Auto-Scaling:
    • AKS supports automatic scaling of clusters based on demand. This ensures the cluster can dynamically adjust its size to accommodate varying workloads, optimizing resource utilization.
  5. Node Pools:
    • Users can create and manage multiple node pools within a single AKS cluster. Node pools allow users to customize virtual machine sizes and configurations based on workload requirements.
  6. Azure Container Registry Integration:
    • AKS seamlessly integrates with Azure Container Registry (ACR), a fully managed container registry service. This integration enables secure storage and management of Docker container images.
  7. Azure Active Directory (AAD) Integration:
    • AKS integrates with Azure Active Directory, providing authentication and authorization for cluster access. Users can leverage Azure AD identities to access Kubernetes resources.
  8. Azure Monitor and Log Analytics:
    • AKS integrates with Azure Monitor, providing comprehensive monitoring capabilities. Users can gain insights into cluster performance and resource utilization and set up alerts. Log Analytics allows for advanced log querying and analysis.
  9. Azure Policy Integration:
    • AKS integrates with Azure Policy, allowing users to enforce governance and compliance policies for Kubernetes clusters. Policies can be defined to ensure security, resource allocation, and naming conventions.
  10. Azure Networking Integration:
    • AKS is integrated with Azure Virtual Network, allowing users to configure network policies, control inbound and outbound traffic, and implement advanced networking features.
  11. Horizontal Pod Autoscaling:
    • AKS supports automatic scaling of pods based on observed CPU or memory utilization. This ensures that applications can scale efficiently to handle varying workloads.
  12. Service Mesh Integration:
    • AKS can be integrated with service mesh solutions such as Azure Service Fabric Mesh or Istio, providing enhanced visibility, security, and control over microservices communication.
  13. Azure Dev Spaces (Preview):
    • Azure Dev Spaces allows developers to iterate and debug applications directly in AKS rapidly. By providing each developer with a unique namespace, it enables a streamlined development experience.
  14. Continuous Deployment (CD) Integration:
    • AKS can be integrated with Azure DevOps or other CI/CD tools for automated testing, building, and deploying containerized applications.
  15. Azure Policy Compliance:
    • Leverage Azure Policy to enforce organizational standards and compliance within AKS clusters. Policies can be applied for security, naming conventions, and other configurations.

Steps to use

Step 1: Azure Subscription and Resource Group

  1. Sign in to Azure Portal:

    • Provide details such as Cluster Name, Region, Kubernetes version, and Node size.
  3. Configure Node Pools:
    • Specify node pool settings, including the number of nodes, VM size, and availability zones.
  4. Authentication and Network Settings:
    • Configure authentication settings, such as Service Principal or Azure Active Directory.
    • Set up networking options, including the Azure Virtual Network and Subnet.
  5. Review and Create:
    • Review the configuration and click “Review + create” to validate settings.
    • Once validated, click “Create” to provision the AKS cluster.
