Module 2: AKS Fundamentals

Introduction

Now that you’ve built a foundation in Kubernetes, it’s time to see how those concepts translate into a managed environment on Azure. In this module, we’ll explore Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), how it simplifies cluster operations, and what makes it a powerful platform for running containerized workloads at scale.

Learning Objectives

  • Explore the core features and architecture of Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
  • Learn how to provision and scale clusters using Azure-native tools
  • Understand networking models and ingress options in AKS
  • Compare AKS add-ons and node pool strategies for real-world workloads
