Likelihood to Recommend
Azure Kubernetes Service is most cost efficient Kubernetes service. it has high security, good governance and easy to manage. Areas where it is less appropriate is manual cluster updates. Azure Kubernetes is most appropriate to use for containerization, continuous deployment and continuous integration. Its very easy to configure and can work with jenkins, and build tools as well. Its easy governance provide facility to manage appropriately. But the major issue is with when configuring clusters and a regular update of policy is required, in this case it requires to create new setup every time rather than updating the same existing items.
