AKS

Overview

We design AKS for workloads that already assume Kubernetes: multiple services, custom scheduling, or a platform team that will own the cluster. Node pools, network policy, and ingress are sized for the data and API pods you will run, not for an empty cluster diagram.

We set Microsoft Entra ID integration, Azure Policy or admission controls you can live with, and a pipeline that deploys manifests or Helm from Git. Cluster upgrades are scheduled, because an unowned cluster is how Kubernetes becomes an incident.

What we deliver

• AKS cluster with node pools, network model, and ingress
• Entra ID integration and namespace separation for teams
• Git-based deployment for the workloads that will run there
• Upgrade window and a monitoring baseline for nodes and pods

Business benefits

• Teams that already ship Kubernetes keep that model on Azure
• Namespaces and identity stop every workload sharing one kubeconfig
• Upgrades have a window, so the cluster does not drift for a year
