Getting Started with Kubernetes Cluster | CI-CD for Azure Kubernetes Service

1. Getting Started with Kubernetes Cluster | CI-CD for Azure Kubernetes Service Learn how to configure CI/CD pipelines to automatically push a docker image to Kubernetes cluster abstracted by Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS). Learn how to pull a docker image from a public container registry, deploy your application to the docker image then push the image to a private container registry to get ready to be picked up by the release pipeline. Kubernetes cluster considered to be a very important containerization orchestration system or platform in the industry now.

2. Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) is the fastest way to use Kubernetes on Azure to Deploy a multi-container application. In this video, we will learn and understand all these topics and how they are connected. Some points that will be covered in the video: It will be a walk-through starts by giving a quick overview about Kubernetes cluster, what is pod and what is node and how Kubernetes cluster structure pods and nods and many other topics. After that we will see a full demo workflow in animation, so we can understand what the steps of the demo are then we will go through the demo where it covers an end-to-end scenario. Tip (Mastering Git with animation) For more information about how to work with Git with animation. All commands will be represented in graphical animation. E.g. git branch, git merge, git rebase, git cherry-pick and many others, see Mastering Git with animation So, what is Kubernetes? Kubernetes is an open-source containerization orchestration system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

3. Key advantage of Kubernetes: • • • • • • Deploy your applications quickly and predictably Improves reliability Continuously monitors and manages your containers Will scale your application to handle changes in load on the fly as needed Better use of infrastructure resources By limiting the hardware usage to required resource only which helps reduce infrastructure requirements by gracefully scaling up and down your entire platform Coordinates what containers run where and when across your system How do all the different types of containers in a system talk to each other? Easily coordinate deployments of your system Which containers need to be deployed Where should the containers be deployed • • • • • All these advantages give Kubernetes to be: • • • Portable (Public, private, hybrid, multi-cloud) Extensible (Modular, pluggable, hookable, composable) Self-healing (Auto-placement, auto-restart, auto-replication, auto-scaling) So why use Azure Kubernetes Service? Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is the quickest way to use Kubernetes on Azure. it manages your hosted Kubernetes environment, making it quick and easy to deploy and manage containerized applications without container orchestration expertise. Key Advantages of Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) • • • • • • Hosts your Kubernetes environment. Quick and easy to deploy Hosted control plane Manages containerized applications without container orchestration expertise. Continuous build option that creates Docker images for faster deployments and reliability. Create resources and infrastructure inside the Azure Kubernetes cluster through Deployments and services manifest files.

4. Tip (Docker for beginners) for more information about how to work with Docker like, pull docker image, run docker image and work with container, see Docker for beginners It also eliminates the burden of ongoing operations and maintenance by provisioning, upgrading, and scaling resources on demand, without taking your applications offline. One of the biggest advantages to use AKS is that instead of creating resources in cloud you can create resources and infrastructure inside Azure Kubernetes Cluster through Deployments and Services manifest files. So, Azure Kubernetes Service a fully managed Kubernetes orchestration service, auto patching, auto scaling, auto updates. Also, it uses the full Kubernetes ecosystem (100% upstream). It also, deeply integrated with Azure Dev Tools and services This video also will cover how to grant access to Azure Kubernetes service to communicate with Azure Container Registry. During the creation of the Azure Kubernetes Service, it will create Service Principle which we will use it to create a Role assignment using the Service principle ID and Azure Container Registry ID. The main idea we will need to have authorization between Azure Kubernetes Service and Azure Container Registry. Also, Azure Pipelines must have authorization for both. There are many other points will be covered in the video, watch the video for more detail. Deploy Docker image to Kubernetes Cluster | CI-CD for Azure Kubernetes Service
