Microservice on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

About this example

Leveraging AKS streamlines container orchestration, enhancing scalability and deployment. Here’s what this setup showcases:

• Scalable Deployments: Utilize Helm for managing Kubernetes applications and Azure Load Balancer to distribute traffic.
• Container Orchestration: AKS to efficiently manage microservices with auto-scaling capabilities.
• Security and Management: Integrate Azure Active Directory and Azure Key Vault for secure operations and role-based access control.
• Observability: Azure Monitor and Prometheus for comprehensive monitoring and logging.

When to use

• Complex Applications: Ideal for multi-component applications requiring seamless orchestration.
• High Availability: For services requiring 24/7 availability with auto-scaling and load balancing.
• Secure Environments: When security is paramount, with Azure AD and Key Vault providing robust access control and secrets management.
• Observability Needs: For systems where in-depth monitoring, logging, and diagnostics are crucial.
