- AKS is a fully managed Kubernetes cluster offering by Azure. AKS Engine is an official, open source tool for provisioning self-managed Kubernetes clusters on Azure. Internally, AKS uses AKS Engine, but they cannot manage clusters created by one another.
- AKS Engine generates an Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template based on a supplied configuration file (cluster apimodel). Then, you can use this ARM template to deploy a fully functional, self-managed Kubernetes cluster on Azure infrastructure.
- No. Even if AKS internally uses AKS Engine, it is not possible to use AKS Engine to manage AKS and vice versa.
- The Azure CLI, Azure Cloud Shell, kubectl, and optionally the SSH client for Windows if you would like to connect to the nodes using SSH.
- AKS Engine uses the apimodel (or cluster definition) JSON file to generate...

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.
