Overview of this book

Whether you’re working with a start-up or an enterprise, making decisions related to using different container technologies on Azure has a notable impact your app migration and modernization strategies. This is where companies face challenges, while choosing the right solutions and deciding when to move on to the next technology. Azure Containers Explained helps you make the right architectural choices for your solutions and get well-versed with the migration path to other platforms using practical examples. You’ll begin with a recap of containers as technology and where you can store them within Azure. Next, you’ll explore the different Microsoft Azure container technologies and understand how each platform, namely Azure Container Apps, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Container Instances (ACI), Azure Functions, and Azure App Services, work – you’ll learn to implement them by grasping their respective characteristics and use cases. Finally, you’ll build upon your own container solution on Azure using best practices from real-world examples and successfully transform your business from a start-up to a full-fledged enterprise. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to effectively cater to your business and application needs by selecting and modernizing your apps using various Microsoft Azure container services.

The pros and cons of running containers on AKS

As with every technology in this book, there are good things and there are constraints that you need to take into account. Once again, we have documented these as pros and cons.

Pros

There are quite a few pros with AKS. Let’s look at them now.

Managed control plane

One of the biggest pros, if not the biggest, is the managed control plane that comes with AKS. Where it can take a considerable amount of time to deploy a vanilla Kubernetes cluster on your self-managed virtual machines, on Microsoft Azure, all that complexity is abstracted away; you get all of it managed and out of the box.

And that is just for the Deployment. Managing the cluster becomes significantly easier with AKS. We don’t have to deal with managing and updating the local etcd store, the certificates, or the agents (kubenet and kubelet). Yes, we still need to press the buttons to move to a new version of AKS, but once those buttons are pressed...
