Azure AKS Consulting FAQs
Common questions about Azure Kubernetes Service
What is Azure AKS and why use it for Kubernetes?
<a href='https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/kubernetes-service' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' class='text-[color:var(--color-secondary-text)] hover:text-[color:var(--color-primary)] underline'>Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)</a> is a fully managed Kubernetes service that simplifies Kubernetes deployment, management, and operations on Microsoft Azure. AKS provides automated upgrades, patching, scaling, and deep Azure integration with Active Directory, Virtual Networks, Load Balancers, and Azure Monitor. Our <a href='/kubernetes-consulting' class='text-[color:var(--color-secondary-text)] hover:text-[color:var(--color-primary)] underline'>Kubernetes consulting services</a> help organizations leverage AKS for production workloads with enterprise-grade security and reliability.
How do you secure AKS clusters following Azure best practices?
We implement comprehensive AKS security including Azure Active Directory integration for RBAC, pod security policies and admission controllers, network policies with Azure Network Policy or Calico, secrets management with Azure Key Vault, Microsoft Defender for Containers for threat detection, Azure Policy for governance, and image scanning with Azure Container Registry. Our <a href='/cybersecurity-services' class='text-[color:var(--color-secondary-text)] hover:text-[color:var(--color-primary)] underline'>cybersecurity services</a> ensure AKS follows <a href='https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/best-practices' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' class='text-[color:var(--color-secondary-text)] hover:text-[color:var(--color-primary)] underline'>Azure AKS security best practices</a>.
What's the difference between AKS Virtual Nodes and standard node pools?
<a href='https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/virtual-nodes' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' class='text-[color:var(--color-secondary-text)] hover:text-[color:var(--color-primary)] underline'>AKS Virtual Nodes</a> provide serverless Kubernetes using Azure Container Instances (ACI) with no VM management, fast scaling, and per-second billing. However, they have limitations (no DaemonSets, limited features). Standard node pools offer full Kubernetes features, better cost efficiency with Spot VMs, and support for stateful workloads. We design hybrid architectures using both virtual nodes for burst workloads and standard pools for production applications.
How does AKS cluster autoscaler work?
<a href='https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/cluster-autoscaler' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' class='text-[color:var(--color-secondary-text)] hover:text-[color:var(--color-primary)] underline'>AKS cluster autoscaler</a> automatically adjusts the number of nodes based on pod resource requests and cluster capacity. It scales up when pods fail to schedule due to insufficient resources and scales down when nodes are underutilized. We configure autoscaler with optimal min/max node counts, scale-down policies, and node pool profiles to balance cost and performance.
Can you migrate existing Kubernetes clusters to Azure AKS?
Yes. We specialize in migrating self-managed Kubernetes, <a href='/eks-consulting' class='text-[color:var(--color-secondary-text)] hover:text-[color:var(--color-primary)] underline'>AWS EKS</a>, or <a href='/gke-consulting' class='text-[color:var(--color-secondary-text)] hover:text-[color:var(--color-primary)] underline'>Google GKE</a> clusters to Azure AKS. Our <a href='/cloud-migration-services' class='text-[color:var(--color-secondary-text)] hover:text-[color:var(--color-primary)] underline'>cloud migration services</a> include workload assessment, AKS architecture design, phased migration with Velero/GitOps, testing, and zero-downtime cutover with comprehensive knowledge transfer.
