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.

# Node Pools
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

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

Remember

You can explain Node Pools simply. You practiced one Azure action. You know a cost or security risk.

Node Pools in CloudVerse

Your team applies node pools while building on Azure.

Outcome: A concrete portal/CLI next step exists.
