In this section, we will perform a similar exercise as in the previous chapter – we are going to deploy a sample ASP.NET Core 3.0 application (using a Deployment Object) to our AKS Engine cluster and demonstrate basic kubectl operations. Many aspects of working with an AKS Engine cluster remain the same as in the case of on-premises clusters – the biggest difference is that you can easily utilize Azure features and integrations. To demonstrate this, we will expose the application using a service of type LoadBalancer instead of NodePort. Thanks to the Kubernetes cloud provider for Azure, the LoadBalancer service will be natively integrated with an Azure Load Balancer instance.

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.
