Azure Kubernetes Service¶
Organizations need to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications efficiently. This requires a scalable and reliable platform for container orchestration and management.
Problem¶
A tech company is developing a microservices-based application that needs to be deployed and managed efficiently. The company requires a scalable solution to orchestrate the deployment and operation of containerized microservices.
Problem Analysis¶
Transitioning to microservices involves developing, deploying, and managing multiple containerized applications. Managing servers and networking components is time-consuming and costly. The company needs a solution that automatically scales, reduces operational overhead, and ensures high availability and reliability. The solution should support triggers and bindings to integrate with other services and resources.
Solution¶
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a managed Kubernetes service for deploying, managing, and operating Kubernetes clusters. AKS enables orchestration of containerized microservices efficiently. It provides built-in monitoring, scaling, and security features for high performance and availability. Azure Container Registry (ACR) is used to store and manage container images, which are deployed to AKS with specified CPU and memory requirements. AKS supports manual and automated scaling, allowing adjustment of container instances based on workload. Azure Monitor tracks performance and health of the AKS cluster.
