Course Overview

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a managed container orchestration service provided by Microsoft Azure. It simplifies the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications using Kubernetes, an open-source platform for automating container operations. With AKS, you can quickly create, configure, and manage Kubernetes clusters in the Azure cloud, reducing the complexity associated with setting up and maintaining your own Kubernetes infrastructure. AKS provides integrated development and deployment capabilities, allowing developers to focus on building applications rather than managing the underlying infrastructure. Additionally, it offers built-in monitoring, security, and scalability features, helping organizations achieve high availability and performance for their containerized workloads. By leveraging AKS, businesses can streamline their DevOps processes, enhance their operational efficiency, and accelerate the delivery of innovative applications.
