Master Microservice Deployments on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS): A Comprehensive Guide.
Deploy Your Microservices on Azure, Streamline Your Workflow for Fast, Scalable, and Effortless Deployments.
Looking to harness the power of microservices in the cloud? Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) offers an ideal platform. Here’s a snapshot of this architecture:
AKS: Managed Kubernetes cluster hosted in Azure. Focus on agent nodes while Azure handles the Kubernetes API service.
Virtual Network: AKS sets up a virtual network for agent nodes. For advanced scenarios, set up your own network with control over subnet config and more.
Ingress: Exposes HTTP(S) routes to services within the cluster, acting as an API Gateway.
Azure Load Balancer: Routes internet traffic to the ingress controller, ensuring scalability and reliability.
External Data Stores: Microservices often use external data stores like Azure SQL Database or Azure Cosmos DB for stateful operations.
Microsoft Entra ID: Used for creating and managing Azure resources and recommended for user authentication in client apps.
Azure Container Registry: Store private Docker images for deployment. AKS can authenticate using its Microsoft Entra identity.
Azure Pipelines: Part of Azure DevOps, automates builds, tests, and deployments. Also compatible with third-party CI/CD tools.
Helm: A Kubernetes package manager that simplifies managing and deploying applications.
Azure Monitor: Collects and stores metrics, logs, and telemetry data for monitoring, alerting, and root cause analysis.
Cost Optimization: Use the Azure pricing calculator to estimate costs, and refer to the Azure Well-Architected Framework for further insights.
