This chapter has given a brief introduction to how to deploy and manage Windows container applications running on an AKS Engine hybrid cluster. You learned the differences between imperative and declarative management of cluster configuration and when to use each of them.

Next, you learned how to predictably schedule Pods on Windows nodes and how to approach adding Windows container workloads to existing Kubernetes clusters. And lastly, we have shown how to access applications running in Kubernetes both for end users and developers and how to scale applications manually and automatically.
In the next chapter, we will utilize all of this new knowledge to deploy a real .NET Framework...
