Deploy to AKS

Foundations & App Service ✓ → Containers & AKS → DevOps & Security → Projects

Containers & AKS · 2 — Orchestrate · ~6 min · AKS

What is this?

Deploy to AKS belongs to Kubernetes/AKS: running containers with declarative workloads.

Why should you care?

Multi-service CloudVerse systems need orchestration beyond one Web App.

See it live — copy this example

Use an Azure lab/free subscription. Prefer Azure CLI or Portal. Delete idle App Service plans, SQL DBs, and AKS clusters when practice is done.

# Deploy to AKS
kubectl get deploy,svc,pods -A
# or: az aks show -g rg-cloudverse-dev -n aks-cloudverse-dev -o table

What happened?

kubectl shows workloads.
Prefer small lab clusters and delete when idle.

Practice next

Run the CLI/portal steps in a lab subscription.
Write the resource names you used.
Note estimated monthly cost for the SKU.
Repeat in a second region (conceptually).
Add the resource to a simple architecture diagram.

Remember

You can explain Deploy to AKS simply. You practiced one Azure action. You know a cost or security risk.

Deploy to AKS in CloudVerse

Your team applies deploy to aks while building on Azure.

Outcome: A concrete portal/CLI next step exists.

What is a build pipeline in Azure DevOps? Answer: A build pipeline in Azure DevOps automates how your code is compiled, tested, and packaged whenever you make changes. It’s part of Continuous Integration (CI) — where every code check-in triggers an automatic build to ensure nothing is broken. Example: When a developer pushes code to main, Azure Pipelines automatically compiles your .NET app, runs unit tests, and generates a build artifact (like a .zip or .dll) ready for deployment.

What is a release pipeline and how does it differ from a build pipeline? Answer: A build pipeline (CI) compiles, tests, and packages your code — it produces artifacts. A release pipeline (CD) takes those artifacts and deploys them to different environments like Dev, QA, or Production. Example: ● Build Pipeline: Compiles your .NET app and outputs a .zip file. ● Release Pipeline: Takes that .zip and deploys it to Azure App Service. So, the build pipeline = create, and release pipeline = deliver.

Example scenario: When you push new code, SonarQube runs static analysis and flags issues like “missing null checks” or “unused variables” before the code gets merged. 4⃣ How do you ensure quality gates before deployment?

Quality gates are automated checks that your code must pass before it can be deployed. Typical gates: Code must pass all tests. Code coverage ≥ 80%. No critical SonarQube issues. Build must succeed. Ways to enforce them:…
