To limit access to cluster resources, AKS supports Kubernetes RBAC. Identity and security management Kubernetes RBAC Access, security, and monitoringįor improved security and management, you can integrate with Microsoft Entra ID to: Advanced networking, Microsoft Entra integration, monitoring, and other features can be configured during the deployment process.įor more information on Kubernetes basics, see Kubernetes core concepts for AKS.ĪKS also supports Windows Server containers.
When you deploy an AKS cluster, you specify the number and size of the nodes, and AKS deploys and configures the Kubernetes control plane and nodes. Template-driven deployment options, like Azure Resource Manager templates, Bicep, and Terraform.You only pay for and manage the nodes attached to the AKS cluster. This control plane is provided at no cost as a managed Azure resource abstracted from the user. When you create an AKS cluster, a control plane is automatically created and configured. As a hosted Kubernetes service, Azure handles critical tasks, like health monitoring and maintenance. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) simplifies deploying a managed Kubernetes cluster in Azure by offloading the operational overhead to Azure.
