Chapter 16: Kubernetes Clusters on Microsoft Azure with Azure Kubernetes Service
The last of the three public cloud Kubernetes services we are going to look at is Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), which is hosted on what most people consider to be one of the "big three" public cloud providers, Microsoft Azure.
By the end of this chapter, you will have configured your local environment with the tools needed to interact with your Microsoft Azure account and launch your AKS cluster. From there we will launch the same workload we launched in the previous two chapters, and then explore the level of integration that your AKS cluster has with the Microsoft Azure portal.
To do this, we will be covering the following topics:
- What are Microsoft Azure and AKS?
- Preparing your local environment
- Launching your AKS cluster
- Deploying a workload and interacting with your cluster
- Deleting your AKS cluster
