Application Deployment and Monitoring on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Deploying applications to the cloud requires robust orchestration to ensure high availability and seamless scaling. Understanding how to manage containers on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a critical skill for modern cloud administration and DevOps roles. This text-based course guides you through the core concepts of container orchestration, from initial cluster setup to advanced application monitoring. You will gain the practical knowledge needed to deploy applications, configure networking, and troubleshoot issues using modern observability tools. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational Kubernetes concepts, architecture, and AKS-specific features. - Configure and deploy containerized applications using declarative YAML manifests. - Manage application scaling, self-healing, and rolling updates within AKS. - Implement modern observability and monitoring using native Azure tools to track application health. - Configure basic networking, ingress controllers, and persistent storage for stateful applications. - Apply troubleshooting workflows to diagnose and resolve common deployment issues. The curriculum begins with essential definitions and cluster architecture before moving into practical deployment scenarios. You will progress from launching simple pods to setting up comprehensive monitoring and diagnostic pipelines. This course is designed for IT professionals, system administrators, and developers new to container orchestration on the cloud.
