Course Wrap  Up

Managing and Scaling Applications in AKS

This course introduces containers as a practical way to package and run applications consistently in the cloud, much like shipping goods in standardized boxes that fit on any truck or ship. You begin by understanding why containers are valuable in modern cloud environments and how they simplify deployment and scaling. You then move through the full container workflow on Azure, starting with pushing container images to Azure Container Registry and running them using Azure Container Instances for simple, serverless deployments. From there, the course focuses on Azure Kubernetes Service, explaining its architecture and core building blocks such as nodes, pods, deployments, and services in clear and approachable terms. Finally, you deploy and scale prebuilt containerized applications on AKS, monitor application and cluster health with Azure Monitor, and learn how to troubleshoot common issues using Azure cloud tools. By the end of the course, you will have a solid, hands-on understanding of how containers are built, deployed, managed, and monitored in Azure.

Introduction to Azure

Understanding Microsoft Azure

Learn how containers work in Azure, including registries, ACI, AKS basics, scaling, monitoring, and troubleshooting.

Azure Compute Solutions

Associado de Desenvolvimento do Microsoft Azure (AZ-204)

Lightweight and efficient because they share the host operating system kernel

Start in seconds and can be deployed rapidly

Highly portable across different environments including laptops, data centers, and cloud

Include a complete guest operating system for each instance

Better suited for legacy applications requiring full OS isolation

Take minutes to boot because they must start an entire operating system
