Deploying and Accessing an Application to an AKS Cluster

In this lab, we will work with the Azure Command Line Interface (CLI) to create an AKS cluster. We will then use the kubectl command line utility to deploy an application to that cluster, and then add a kubernetes service, so that the application is accessible over the internet.
