Hands-On Kubernetes on Azure

Efficiently deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters on a cloudKey FeaturesDeploy highly scalable applications with Kubernetes on AzureLeverage AKS to deploy manage and operations of KubernetesGain best practices from this guide to increase efficiency of container orchestration service on CloudBook DescriptionMicrosoft is now one of the most significant contributors to Kubernetes open source projects. Kubernetes helps to create configure and manage a cluster of virtual machines that are preconfigured to run containerized applications.This book will be your resource for achieving successful container orchestration and deployment of Kubernetes clusters on Azure. You will learn how to deploy and manage highly scalable applications along with how to set up a production-ready Kubernetes cluster on Azure. With this book you will be able to reduce the complexity and operational overheads of managing a Kubernetes cluster on Azure.By the end of this book you will not only be capable of deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters on Azure with ease but also have the knowledge of industry best practices to work with advanced Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) concepts for complex systems.What you will learnGet to grips with Microsoft AKS deployment management and operationsLearn about the benefits of using Microsoft AKS as well as the limitations and avoid potential problemsIntegrate Microsoft toolchains such as Visual Studio Code and GitImplement simple and advanced AKS solutionsImplement the automated scalability and high reliability of secure deployments with Microsoft AKSUse kubectl commands to monitor applicationsWho this book is forIf you’re a cloud engineer cloud solution provider sysadmin site reliability engineer or a developer interested in DevOps and are looking for an extensive guide to running Kubernetes in the Azure environment then this book is for you. Though any previous knowledge of Kubernetes is not expected some experience with Linux and Docker containers would be beneficial.
