Deploying and Managing Windows Containers on Azure Kubernetes Service

Migrating legacy Windows applications to the cloud requires a modern, scalable infrastructure. Running Windows containers on Kubernetes allows you to modernize your workloads without rewriting your entire codebase. This written course guides you through the process of setting up, managing, and maintaining Windows-based containerized applications on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). You will progress from understanding core containerization concepts to implementing production-ready monitoring and hybrid deployment strategies. What you'll learn: * Understand the core architecture of Windows containers and how they integrate with Kubernetes * Deploy Windows container workloads to AKS using YAML configurations * Configure networking, persistent storage, and active directory integration for Windows pods * Monitor container health and performance using modern Azure observability tools * Apply security best practices, including isolated node pools and container security patching * Explore hybrid deployment scenarios to manage workloads across environments. Starting with foundational container concepts, you will move systematically through cluster setup, deployment configurations, and day-two operations like scaling and log analysis. Each concept is reinforced with clear written explanations and structured configuration examples. This course is designed for IT professionals, system administrators, and developers new to container orchestration who want to host Windows workloads on Azure. No prior Kubernetes experience is required to begin. Start reading today to modernize your Windows infrastructure with confidence.
