Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Course Overview

Welcome to the definitive hands-on training for mastering Microsoft's powerful container orchestration platform. At Koenig Solutions, we have designed a 5-day intensive course on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) to guide you through every stage of your cloud-native journey. This program is built to take you from core Kubernetes concepts to advanced topics like autoscaling, security, and complex networking.

This is more than just a lecture; it's a practical Kubernetes training program where you will deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications using AKS. Through comprehensive, real-world labs, you will gain the proficiency needed to manage scalable, secure, and efficient applications on the Azure cloud.

What is Kubernetes?

Before diving into AKS, let's start with the basics. What exactly is Kubernetes? Often called K8s, Kubernetes is a powerful open-source system originally developed by Google that helps automate how we run modern applications. It leverages over 15 years of Google's experience running production workloads to provide a robust platform for container management. It acts like an orchestra conductor for your application containers, grouping them into logical units to make them much easier to manage and discover.

Its key features include:

• Automated Rollouts: Kubernetes can automatically roll out new versions of your application without any downtime.

• Service Discovery and Load Balancing: It helps different parts of your application find each other and distributes network traffic so no single part gets overwhelmed.

• Self-healing: If a container fails, Kubernetes automatically restarts it or replaces it to keep your application running smoothly.
