Azure Kubernetes Service
This chapter is dedicated to describing the Kubernetes container orchestrator and, in particular, its implementation in Azure, which is called Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). This chapter explains the fundamental Kubernetes concepts and then focuses on how to interact with a Kubernetes cluster and how to deploy an Azure Kubernetes application. All concepts are put into practice with simple examples. We recommend reading Chapter 5, Applying a Microservice Architecture to Your Enterprise Application, before reading this chapter, since we will use concepts explained in previous chapters.
More specifically, in this chapter we will cover the following topics:
- Kubernetes basics
- Interacting with Azure Kubernetes clusters
- Advanced Kubernetes concepts
By the end of this chapter, you will have learned how to implement and deploy a complete solution using Azure Kubernetes Service.
