The previous chapter gave an overview of how to create a hybrid Windows/Linux Kubernetes cluster in an on-premises environment. This approach can also be used for Deployments in Infrastructure-as-a-Service cloud environments, but if you are working with Azure, you have an easier solution: Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Engine (https://github.com/Azure/aks-engine). This project aims to provide an Azure-native way of deploying self-managed Kubernetes clusters using Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates, which can leverage all Azure cloud integrations for Kubernetes, for example LoadBalancer services. What's more, with AKS Engine, you have support for the Deployment of a Kubernetes cluster with Windows nodes, requiring minimal configuration and node preparation compared to on-premises environments. In other words, you...

Overview of this book
With the adoption of Windows containers in Kubernetes, you can now fully leverage the flexibility and robustness of the Kubernetes container orchestration system in the Windows ecosystem. This support will enable you to create new Windows applications and migrate existing ones to the cloud-native stack with the same ease as for Linux-oriented cloud applications.
This practical guide takes you through the key concepts involved in packaging Windows-distributed applications into containers and orchestrating these using Kubernetes. You'll also understand the current limitations of Windows support in Kubernetes. As you advance, you'll gain hands-on experience deploying a fully functional hybrid Linux/Windows Kubernetes cluster for development, and explore production scenarios in on-premises and cloud environments, such as Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service.
By the end of this book, you'll be well-versed with containerization, microservices architecture, and the critical considerations for running Kubernetes in production environments successfully.
