Overview of this book

Microsoft is now one of the most significant contributors to Kubernetes open source projects. Kubernetes helps to create, configure, and manage a cluster of virtual machines that are preconfigured to run containerized applications. This book will be your guide to performing successful container orchestration and deployment of Kubernetes clusters on Azure. You will get started by learning how to deploy and manage highly scalable applications, along with understanding how to set up a production-ready Kubernetes cluster on Azure. As you advance, you will learn how to reduce the complexity and operational overheads of managing a Kubernetes cluster on Azure. By the end of this book, you will not only be capable of deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters on Azure with ease, but also have the knowledge of best practices for working with advanced AKS concepts for complex systems.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to secure secrets in Kubernetes. We went into detail in creating, decoding, and using secrets. We installed and injected Istio, achieving the goal of being able to set system-wide policies without needing developer intervention or oversight. Since hackers like to pick on easy systems, the skills that we have learned in this chapter will help to make your setup less likely to be targeted. In the next chapter, you will learn how to deploy serverless functions on AKS.
