Kubernetes service | ICT NWT s.r.o.

Containers, which are packages of microservices along with their dependencies and configurations, are increasingly used to create modern applications. Kubernetes (pronounced koo-ber-net-ees in English) is open-source software for deploying and managing these containers in bulk. It is also the Greek word for helmsman or pilot. Accelerate containerized applications' creation, delivery, and scaling using the Kubernetes protocol, sometimes called k8s or k-eights.

Azure Kubernetes Service can quickly deploy and manage containerized applications using a fully managed Kubernetes service. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) provides a serverless Kubernetes platform, an integrated continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) environment, and enterprise-grade security and governance policies. Bring your development and operations teams together on a single platform, enabling them to quickly build, deliver, and scale applications without worry.

Migrating applications to containers

Take advantage of migrating applications to containers and running them within AKS efficiently. Use the Azure Active Directory integration to control access. Use the Open Service Broker for Azure technology to access the data you need from Azure services secured by an SLA, such as Azure Database for MySQL.

Increased operational efficiency

Rely on integrated automated set-up, repair, monitoring, and scaling. This checkbox-style environment helps you ensure fast commissioning and minimizes infrastructure maintenance.

Azure Advisor can optimize your Kubernetes deployment with real-time, personalized recommendations based on our knowledge gained from working with thousands of enterprise customers. Redundancy across availability groups allows you to achieve higher availability and better protect applications from failure.

Why use Kubernetes?

Ensuring the uptime of containerized applications can be complex because it often involves many containers deployed across different computers. Kubernetes provides a way to schedule and deploy these containers, scale to the desired state, and manage their lifecycle. Use Kubernetes to implement your containerized applications in a portable, scalable, and extensible way.

Flexible deployment of additional capacity without the need to manage infrastructure and with the ability to add auto-scaling and event-driven triggers.

Faster comprehensive development environments with Visual Studio Code for Kubernetes, Azure DevOps and Azure Monitor

Enhanced identity and access management using Azure Active Directory and dynamic policy enforcement across multiple clusters using Azure Policy

Availability in more areas than any other cloud provider

Why use Kubernetes?

Since containerized applications are decoupled from the underlying infrastructure, they become portable when run in a Kubernetes environment. You can move them from on-premises to production between on-premises, hybrid, and various cloud environments while maintaining consistency across environments.

Building applications with greater extensibility

A large community of open-source developers and companies is actively building extensions and plug-ins that add additional features to Kubernetes, such as security, monitoring, and management. In addition, the Certified Kubernetes Conformance Program requires that every Kubernetes release support APIs that make it easy to leverage these community offerings.

Easy container scaling

Kubernetes allows you to define complex containerized applications and deploy them globally across a cluster or clusters of servers. When Kubernetes scales applications horizontally according to the desired state, it also automatically monitors and maintains the state of containers.
