Why Azure Kubernetes Service?

Portability

“Write once, run anywhere.” Containers allows your applications to run consistently across different environments, whether on-premises or in the cloud.

Efficiency

Containers use fewer resources than traditional virtual machines, leading to higher utilisation of compute resources and faster start-up times.

Agility

Containerisation enables faster development and deployment cycles, allowing your team to deliver new features and updates more quickly.

Isolation

Containers isolate applications from each other and the host system, enhancing security and reducing the risk of conflicts.

What is Azure Kubernetes Service?

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a managed Kubernetes service that simplifies the deployment, management, and operations of Kubernetes. AKS reduces the complexity and operational overhead of managing Kubernetes by offloading much of that responsibility to Azure. This allows you to focus on building and running your applications rather than managing the underlying infrastructure.
