Azure Kubernetes Service for Kubernetes in the Cloud

Initially, Microsoft started with Azure Container Service (ACS). ACS allows you to pick which container orchestrator you would like from Mesos, Docker Swarm, and Kubernetes. As time went along, it became clear that Kubernetes had won the container orchestrator wars and Microsoft decided to go all in on Kubernetes. On October 26, 2017, Azure Kubernetes Service went Generally Available (GA), and since then, the product has grown along with the Kubernetes community.

Throughout this chapter, we will help you understand how Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) works, build a solution based on a use case, and see whether it brings to the table what it promises.

In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:

  • Understanding how AKS works
  • Deploying containers to AKS
  • The pros and cons of running containers on AKS
