Cloud Academy - Introduction to AKS

AKS is a super-charged Kubernetes managed service which makes creating and running a Kubernetes cluster a breeze!
This course explores AKS, Azure's managed Kubernetes service, covering the fundamentals of the service and how it can be used. You'll first learn about how as a managed service it takes care of managing and maintaining certain aspects of itself, before moving onto the core AKS concepts such as cluster design and provisioning, networking, storage management, scaling, and security. After a quick look at Azure Container Registry, the course then moves on to an end-to-end demonstration that shows how to provision a new AKS cluster and then deploy a sample cloud-native application into it.

Learning Objectives
