Deploying and Managing Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Networking from Pluralsight

Azure Kubernetes Service is a platform-as-a-service that provides you Kubernetes Services in the Azure Cloud. This course will teach you to design, configure, and manage networking, services, and disaster recovery in Azure Kubernetes Service.

Like any other service, to operate Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) successfully, you need to understand networking and application access and disaster recovery to deploy production application services in AKS. In this course, Deploying and Managing Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Networking, you’ll learn how to effectively design and configure networking, and configure access to and deploy applications in AKS. First, you’ll explore how to specifically design and configure networking. Next, you’ll discover how to configure access to applications and services deployed in AKS. Finally, you’ll learn the fundamentals of business continuity in AKS. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of networking, services, and disaster recovery needed to deploy production applications services in Azure Kubernetes Service.
