    • Observability: Why is the checkout service slow? Where are requests failing?
    • Traffic Control: How can you roll out updates without downtime?

This is where Service Mesh comes in.

In modern cloud-native applications, maintaining high availability during updates is crucial. Kubernetes provides a powerful mechanism called the rollout update strategy that allows you to update your application with minimal or zero downtime.

This article will explore how rollout strategies work, and how to manage them effectively in your Kubernetes deployments.

But here’s the tricky bit: while Authentication and Authorization often come bundled in conversation, they are two distinct pieces in the AKS puzzle.

Let’s break it down in a no-nonsense, real-world way.
