Managed Identities in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) heavily relies on Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) and Managed Identities to securely access and manage Azure resources on behalf of the cluster and its workloads — without managing secrets or credentials manually.

In this article, we’ll explore the two types of managed identities used in AKS, understand their roles and scopes, and learn how to configure and leverage them effectively following best practices.

Exploring Kubernetes Health Probes

Kubernetes is a powerful platform for managing containerized applications at scale.

To ensure the health and reliability of these applications, Kubernetes provides a set of mechanisms known as health probes. These probes allow Kubernetes to monitor the state of containers within a pod and take appropriate actions when something goes wrong.

In this article, we’ll explore the three main types of health probes in Kubernetes — liveness, readiness, and startup probes — and how they work to maintain the health and availability of your applications.

Capacity Planning in Azure Kubernetes Service

Capacity management and autoscaling in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) are crucial components in ensuring that your Kubernetes cluster remains responsive, cost-efficient, and scalable to meet varying workloads.

Managing these elements effectively requires a holistic approach that integrates considerations from both the Kubernetes layer (application-focused) and the underlying cloud platform layer (infrastructure-focused).

This article delves into the key aspects of Kubernetes capacity management and autoscaling, offering insights into best practices and strategic decision-making to optimize your AKS environment.
