7. Monitoring the AKS cluster and the application

Now that you know how to deploy applications on an AKS cluster, let's focus on how you can ensure that your cluster and applications remain available. In this chapter, you will learn how to monitor your cluster and the applications running on it. You'll explore how Kubernetes makes sure that your applications are running reliably using readiness and liveness probes.

You will also learn how AKS Diagnostics and Azure Monitor are used, and how they are integrated within the Azure portal. You will see how you can use AKS Diagnostics to monitor the status of the cluster itself, and how Azure Monitor helps monitor the pods on the cluster and allows you to get access to the logs of the pods at scale.

In brief, the following topics will be covered in this chapter:
