All Episodes in the Series
Episode 0: Introduction
What can you expect in this mini-series? In this video, Yared Tsegaye, Solution Director for Digital and App Innovation at AIS, introduces topics for this series, starting with AKS.
Episode 1: An Overview of Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes
How can Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes transform your cloud computing strategies? In this video, we introduce practical ways to leverage this powerful integration for your business needs. Leveraging our deep expertise with Azure services and Azure Arc, we offer a comprehensive exploration of this technology. The series will cover a range of essential topics, from fundamental concepts to advanced deployment strategies. We’ll discuss real-world use cases, practical architectural approaches, management of Kubernetes clusters, and best practices for optimizing your hybrid and multi-cloud environments with Azure Arc.
Episode 2: Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes Control Plane
In this video, Yared Tsegaye showcases Azure Arc’s streamlined operations and uniform management experience, illustrating its impact on your cloud computing strategies and infrastructure optimization.
Episode 3: Azure Arc-enabled Infrastructure
In this video, we’re exploring the transformative capabilities of Azure Arc and its impact on infrastructure management. Azure Arc transcends conventional cloud services, offering in-depth server management solutions for both physical and virtual servers across Windows and Linux, all within a single management umbrella. It simplifies administration through centralized organization, enhanced security, and role-based operations.
Episode 4: Kubernetes Anywhere
In this video, we’ll explore how Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes simplifies and unifies the management of Kubernetes clusters across different environments. Its flexible approach supports multiple distributions, directly integrates existing clusters, and promotes a collaborative open-source ecosystem. We’ll see how configuration is streamlined through GitOps, Azure Monitor enhances operational visibility, and how robust security is maintained through Azure’s built-in policies and role-based access. Azure Arc is the solution for managing Kubernetes efficiently and securely, regardless of the infrastructure. Join us to discover how it redefines Kubernetes management for businesses everywhere.
Episode 5: Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes Onboarding
In this video, we provide a detailed guide on how to onboard Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes. We walk you through the entire process, starting from the Kubernetes Cluster Administrator initiating the connection through Azure CLI. The process involves deploying agents, pulling images from a container registry, establishing secure authentication, and configuring the cluster with Azure metadata. Throughout the process, the Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes Data Plane Service ensures data synchronization, identity management, and overall cluster health. Once completed, your Kubernetes cluster will be fully integrated with Azure, unlocking powerful monitoring and management capabilities.
