Description
What you'll learnThe AKS Cluster IntroductionLaunch AKS cluster using AZ CLI, Terraform and PortalPractical on launching AKS Cluster with available addons and deep dive understanding on each addon. Monitoring AKS clusterAll Day 2 operations on AKS clusterRequirementsKubernetes clusterDeploying applications on clusterBasic understanding on Pods, Deployment, ReplicaSets and DaemonSets.DescriptionAzure Kubernetes Service (AKS) offers the quickest way to start developing and deploying cloud-native apps, with built-in code-to-cloud pipelines and guardrails. Get unified management and governance for on-premises, edge, and multicloud Kubernetes clusters. Interoperate with Azure security, identity, cost management, and migration services.Features1. Operational resiliency with cluster presets, automated node maintenance, specialized hardware, and ultra-SSDs2. Built for cloud with Visual Studio Code extensions, GitHub Actions pipelines, Open Service Mesh, and Dapr.3. Microsoft Defender for containers interoperability, multicluster governance, and GitOps at scale with Azure Policy4. Kubernetes anywhere with AKS on Azure Stack HCI, and support for Linux and Windows Server workloads.Who this course is for:Newcomer as well as experienced software developers, DevOps those want practical exposure on AKS cluster.This course is for everyone interested in having deep dive knowledge on AKS.Taking this course will enable you to be among the first to gain a very solid understanding of AKS cluster.
