We were recently tasked with delivering a proof of concept for a large retailer to help them easily scale their Virtual Machines (VMs) and Docker containers in the Azure cloud. This meant we had to familiarise ourselves with Azure's Kubernetes Service and we thought it would be a good opportunity to share our findings. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is Microsoft's tool for managing Kubernetes clusters in their cloud. In this guide we're going to walk through some initial configuration for AKS, deploy a Spring Boot docker container, take a look at the Kubernetes dashboard and scale both the application container instances and the VMs these can be deployed on. It might help to have a basic understanding of Kubernetes concepts before you begin The first thing to do is grab yourself a free*** Azure account and familiarise yourself with the Portal. I'm going to be showing most things using the Command Line Interface (CLI) with commands that run on my MacBook, but pretty much everything can be done through the Portal and the Kubernetes Dashboard if you prefer to click on things.
