Used Azure Kubernetes for all application deployment and integration, containerization and scaling of applications. It is highly appreciable with its usage and policies, easy to maintain, governance and helpful for continuous deployment and integration.

  • Continuous Integration
  • Containerization of application
  • Security of Microsoft playing a vital role
  • Management and governance of application

Cons

  • Need to update cluster manually
  • Policies cannot be updated for existing components
  • if any change in policy every has to create cluster
  • Cost efficient
  • Microsoft security and management
  • Easy management to scale application
  • Highly scalable application is supported
  • Easy and quick to deploy and integrate application
  • Less efficient for cluster change management
Due to cost efficiency. And using AZURE cloud for other services as well. Azure Kubernetes Service is more suitable to configure CI/CD pipelines. With a facility of automated or One click deployment and integration of the application.
