This document provides an overview and agenda for a presentation on Azure Container Service (AKS), which is Azure's managed Kubernetes service. It discusses how AKS allows users to easily configure and manage Kubernetes clusters on Azure without having to manage the underlying infrastructure. It highlights key AKS features like automated Kubernetes upgrades, self-healing control planes, integration with Azure services for networking and security, and billing based on resource usage. The presentation includes demos of exploring an AKS cluster.

2. Agenda
● Overview of managed Kubernetes on ACS (AKS)
● Configuring a cluster
● Architecture overview
● Demos
● Summary

3. Azure Container Service (Before)
● Orchestrate container applications using popular open source tooling
● Choose your orchestrator:
○ Kubernetes
○ Docker
○ Mesosphere DC/OS
● Migrate container workloads to and from Azure
● Full support from Microsoft / Docker / Mesosphere
● Leverage Azure Platform capabilities
○ VM Scale Sets
○ Networking
○ Security

4. ACS with Managed Kubernetes
● Container hosting solution optimized for Azure
● Azure-hosted control plane
● Only pay for resource consumption
● Automated upgrades, self-healing, easy scaling
● Ease Kubernetes management with open source upstream portability
● Deploy alternative orchestrators (Docker, Mesos DC/OS)

5. ACS with Managed Kubernetes
● Fully managed Kubernetes control plane:
○ No VMs to operate
○ No patching required
● Provisioned in a few minutes
● SLA-available service (99.95%)
● Transparently scales with cluster size:
○ 1, 50, 100, 250, 500, etc.
● Upstream Kubernetes
● Free (no charge for control plane)

6. AKS Features
● Automated Kubernetes upgrades
● Self-healing Control Plane
● etcd SSD backed, automated, H/A, backup/restore
● Customized networking (Azure VNETs, CNI)
● Cluster scaling
● TLS everywhere. Backed by Azure KeyVault
● RBAC and Azure AD integrated
● Hybrid Clusters (futures)
