Features & Specs

  1. Managed Kubernetes

    Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a managed Kubernetes service, which reduces the complexity and operational overhead of managing Kubernetes by offloading much of that responsibility to Azure.

  2. Integrated DevOps Tools

    AKS integrates seamlessly with Azure DevOps and other continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) tools, facilitating smooth development and deployment cycles.

  3. Scalability

    AKS provides excellent scalability, allowing users to easily scale their applications up or down based on demand without worrying about the underlying architecture.

  4. Security and Compliance

    Azure offers strong security features, such as integration with Azure Active Directory, role-based access control (RBAC), and network policies, which help ensure the security and compliance of applications within AKS.

  5. Cost Management

    Only pay for the virtual machines and storage resources used, and no additional charge is levied for the Kubernetes management infrastructure, which can help manage and optimize costs effectively.
