- In this module, you learn about the core Kubernetes infrastructure components, including control plane nodes, node pools, and workload resources such as pods, deployments, and sets.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Describe control plane nodes, node pools, and workload resources like pods, deployments, and sets.
Scheduling of fault-tolerant application workloads using Azure Kubernetes Service.
Managing deployment and core management tasks, like upgrade coordination using Azure Kubernetes Service.
Clustering of virtual or on-premises machines called nodes that share compute, network, and storage resources.
- Learn how to create a private registry service for building, storing, and managing container images and related artifacts.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
- Create an Azure container registry instance with the Azure portal.
- Sign-in to the registry instance using the Azure CLI on your local machine.
- Push an image to the registry instance.
- Remove the image from your local Docker environment. View the image in your registry.
- Pull and run the container image from your container registry.
- This module covers the deployment of a managed Kubernetes cluster in Azure using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
- Create an Azure Kubernetes Service cluster.
- Configure Azure Kubernetes Service Components.
- Connect to an Azure Kubernetes Service cluster.
- Configure Azure Active Directory Integration.
- Monitor an Azure Kubernetes Service cluster.
- Use Azure Policy to enforce policies and safeguards on your Kubernetes clusters at scale. Azure Policy Ensures that your cluster is secure, compliant, and consistent across your organization.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Enable and configure Azure Policy for Azure Kubernetes Service.
Assign policy definitions to an Azure Kubernetes Service cluster.
Use namespaces to logically isolate workloads and resources.
Enable host-based encryption for Azure Kubernetes Service agent nodes.
- This module covers how to provision an Azure Kubernetes Service cluster and validate the effect of Azure Policy.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
- Provision an AKS cluster.
- Install the Azure Policy add-on for Azure Kubernetes Service.
- Assign an Azure Policy initiative to an Azure Kubernetes Service cluster
- Validate the effect of Azure Policy
- This module covers the scaling applications in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), including manually scaling pods or nodes and integrating with Azure Container Instances (ACI).
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
- Manually scaling pods or nodes
- Using the Horizontal pod autoscaler
- Using the Cluster autoscaler
- Integrating with Azure Container Instances (ACI)
- Welcome to this interactive skills validation experience. Completing this module helps prepare you for the Deploy and manage containers with Azure Kubernetes Service assessment.
In this guided exercise, you practice creating and configuring an Azure Container Registry and an Azure Kubernetes Server cluster. The guided exercise combines both learning and hands-on practice. The skills validated include:
Provisioning Azure Container Registry (ACR) and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
Building a Linux and Windows container images and store them in Azure Container Registry.
Deploying container images to Azure Kubernetes Service.
By the end of this guided exercise, you gain hands-on experience in creating and configuring these services in Azure.
