In this chapter, we learned the basic steps of provisioning a Kubernetes cluster. We also learned about the Azure command-line interface and how to provision resources in Azure. We also tried different tools across the whole deployment, such as CFSSL and Nginx.
We learned about and provisioned kubectl configuration files that enabled us to access our cluster and deployed a dummy deployment to test our cluster. Finally, we looked at the benefits of running a managed cluster and the different types of managed service that we can find in the major public cloud providers.
The next chapter will explain what each component does. The reader will learn about the different components and their purposes.
