Up and Running with Azure Kubernetes Services

摘要

In the world of container orchestration, everyone seems to being talking about Kubernetes. Originally designed by Google, Kubernetes is an open source platform for orchestrating Docker (or any Open Container Initiative) containers across clusters of virtual machines (VMs), with support for deployment, rollbacks, scaling and a host of other features. Administering a Kubernetes cluster can be a complex endeavor, so the Azure team has provided a managed solution called Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) to make the process considerably easier. In this article, I'll demonstrate how to deploy an AKS cluster, create a secure Azure Container Registry (ACR), deploy an ASRNET Web API application, and expose that application on the Internet via a Kubernetes Ingress and Azure DNS. This is not intended to be an in-depth article on Kubernetes, but rather everything you need to get up and running quickly with an application using the Azure AKS offering.
