Skill IQ
Build practical Azure Kubernetes Service fluency by planning, deploying, securing, operating, and troubleshooting AKS workloads for production-style scenarios. Choose this path when you already understand containers and need to move into provider-native Kubernetes operations without getting lost in full platform-engineering depth.
Content in this path
Essentials
Build practical AKS fluency by learning when AKS is the right fit, how to configure a baseline cluster, how to deploy and secure workloads, and how to interpret core operational signals.
Deep Dive
Extend AKS skills through specialized topics, niche operational lenses, and advanced scenarios that go beyond baseline fluency, such as deeper security, automation, scaling, resilience, or platform engineering patterns.

What You'll Learn
- 1. Evaluate when AKS is the right compute primitive by matching workload and team maturity to managed Kubernetes responsibilities.
- 2. Build and validate an AKS baseline cluster with identity, registry, networking, monitoring, and a serving workload.
- 3. Operate AKS workloads through secure access, scaling, lifecycle updates, observability, and guided recovery from rollout or reachability failures.
Prerequisites
- You should already understand container images, registries, Kubernetes objects, manifests, services, and basic cloud networking. This curriculum assumes container fluency and some Azure familiarity, then focuses on Azure-native AKS decisions and operations rather than basic Docker or Kubernetes fundamentals.
