AKS Operations
Introduction
As a managed Kubernetes service in Azure, the control plane of an AKS cluster is managed by Azure, which offloads quite significant operational overheads from you as an AKS customer. However, unlike other Azure PaaS services such as App Service, keeping an ASK cluster up and running is a shared responsibility between you and Azure. While the control plane is managed by Azure, the agent nodes are managed by you. You need to ensure the cluster is up to date so that it would not fall out of support. You also need to manage the workloads running in the cluster so that the business can be well served while the performance, availability and cost can be balanced.
In this session, we will discuss some of the key operational areas of AKS that are often asked by our customers. We will cover them by using general guidance, best practices, tools, and demos. And hopefully with this session, we can help the administrators and engineers who need to manage their AKS clusters in their day-to-day work better understand what they need to do with the AKS clusters from the operational perspective.
This is not a session for the introduction, or the design and deployment of AKS clusters. We assume you have the basic understanding to the concepts of Kubernetes and know how to interact with it by using tools like kubectl.
As a side note, the 3rd party open source tools that we use in the session are outside of Microsoft technical support, as it is indicated in the Support policies for AKS.
