Summary
In this chapter, you learned about the concepts of containers and Kubernetes. You ran a number of containers, starting with an existing image and then using an image you built yourself. After that demo, you were introduced to three essential Kubernetes objects: the pod, the deployment, and the service.
This provides the context for the remaining chapters, where you will deploy containerized applications using Microsoft AKS. You will see how the AKS offering from Microsoft streamlines deployment by handling many of the management and operational tasks that you would have to do yourself if you managed and operated your own Kubernetes infrastructure.
In the next chapter, you will use the Azure portal to create your first AKS cluster.
