    Study Notes

    Azure Web Apps and Function Apps

    • Web Apps can host Docker containers
    • Function Apps can host Docker containers
    • These services allow deployment of Docker images directly

    Azure Container Instances

    • A great solution for simple applications, task automation, and build jobs
    • Supports multiple containers on a single host in a container group
    • Suitable for logging, monitoring, or other configurations where a service needs a second process

    Azure Container Apps

    • A serverless platform for containerized applications
    • Reduces infrastructure and costs

    Bicep File

    • A domain-specific language (DSL) for deploying Azure resources declaratively
    • Simplifies authoring of Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates
    • Easier to manage infrastructure as code

    AKS Cluster

    • Divided into control plane and nodes
    • Node pools isolate deployments of VMs within the same cluster
    • Useful for developing multiple environments

    Components of an AKS Cluster

    • API server (kube-apiserver): Exposes the Kubernetes API
    • Kubelet: Ensures containers are running in a pod
    • Kube-proxy: Maintains network rules on nodes
    • Container runtime: Manages the execution and lifecycle of containers
    • etcd: A highly available key-value store for cluster state
    • Kube-scheduler: Schedules pods on nodes
    • Kube-controller-manager: Manages controllers for various processes (e.g., nodes going down)
    • Cloud controller manager: Contains cloud-specific control logic

    Cost Considerations for AKS

    • Right-size node pools (e.g., Standard_B2s is cheaper than Standard_D2s_v3)
    • Consider using spot VMs or virtual nodes for burstable scaling

    Replica Set

    • Ensures a specific number of pod replicas are running continuously, creating new pods if necessary

    DaemonSet

    • Guarantees a specific pod runs on all nodes or a specific subset of nodes
    • Useful for tasks requiring direct interaction with nodes (e.g., monitoring, networking agents)

    Commands

    • kubectl commands (e.g., install-cli, get-credentials, run, describe, exec, top pod/node, create deploy, expose deploy/service) are used to interact with AKS clusters directly or through a proxy
    • Using kubectl to build a declarative YAML file is possible
    • Connecting directly to the Kubernetes API is feasible

    Node-Shell Plugin

    • A third-party plugin that allows shell access to Kubernetes nodes

    Azure IP Masquerade Agent

    • Acts as an IP masquerading agent, improving outgoing traffic for external destinations

    CoreDNS and CoreDNS Autoscaler

    • Part of the storage system (CSI)
    • Improved and standardised container storage
    • Aids in storage management

    Kubernetes Resource Group Customisations

    • To enable auto-scaling of nodes, configuration customizations should be made within the AKS cluster settings, not the virtual machine scale sets
    • Outbound rule changes for load balancers should be managed through the AKS cluster.
