Application Deployment on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Scaling and managing containerized applications in the cloud can seem daunting without a structured approach. This course guides you step-by-step through deploying and managing workloads on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). By reading through our comprehensive explanations and analyzing practical configuration examples, you will gain the skills needed to set up AKS clusters, configure persistent storage, and maintain secure, production-ready deployments. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational Kubernetes and AKS concepts, terminology, and cluster architecture. - Provision functional AKS clusters and configure secure networking and node pools. - Deploy and update application workloads using standard Kubernetes manifests. - Configure persistent storage solutions using StorageClasses and PersistentVolumeClaims. - Enforce pod security and compliance standards using integrated Azure Policy. - Implement modern observability and basic monitoring to track cluster health. The course starts with essential cloud and container orchestration definitions before moving on to cluster configuration, storage management, and deployment updates. You will learn to troubleshoot and maintain applications through detailed written scenarios and architectural breakdowns. This course is designed for beginner cloud engineers, system administrators, and developers who are new to container orchestration on Azure, with no prior Kubernetes experience required.
