What you'll learn

As organizations adopt cloud-native applications and services, the need for effective management and orchestration of containerized workloads becomes crucial. In this course, Manage Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), you’ll learn how to manage networking for the AKS cluster API and how to configure scaling. First you’ll explore the available options for securing access to the AKS cluster API at the network layer, which will improve defense in depth by providing an additional layer of security in addition to the authentication and authorization layer. Next, you’ll learn how to configure scaling for your AKS cluster and its workloads, by first exploring how to configure node scaling, and then moving up into the workloads and exploring how to configure pod scaling. Finally, you’ll explore how you can take advantage of low-cost compute with spot instances and rapidly burst capacity using Azure Container Instances (ACI). By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of managing AKS needed to secure the AKS cluster API and manage AKS scaling.
