Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a cloud-based platform that helps you manage and deploy applications using containers. Think of containers as lightweight, portable boxes that hold everything an application needs to run. AKS automates many tasks involved in running these containers, like scaling them up or down based on demand and ensuring they are healthy. This allows businesses to focus more on developing their applications rather than worrying about the underlying infrastructure. By using AKS, organizations can improve efficiency and streamline operations while benefiting from Microsoft's secure and scalable cloud environment.
