We start containers in Azure
Hi, Habr! At Microsoft, I specialize in cloud architecture and the question “How do I run containers in the cloud?” Often comes to me. In fact, there are so many options for how this can be done in Azure, and it can be difficult to provide a general picture of all the possibilities. Therefore, we decided to put everything together and make a short video in which I draw a diagram of possibilities for launching containers in Azure from IaaS variants to CaaS and specialized CaaS. And under the cut you will find the latest announcement on the same topic.
Azure cloud is developing rapidly. During the time we were shooting and videotaped, the PaaS storage options for containers in the cloud changed and the opportunity to create a Kubernetes-AKS managed cluster appeared, so I decided to add video with this text.
Azure Container Service (ACS) is our new managed service Kubernetes. The developers liked the current implementation of Kubernetes support as an Azure Container service, the number of users has increased by 300% over the past six months .

Now, with the release of the preliminary version of the AKS, the use of the Kubernetes environment is even more simplified and its management is not detrimental to portability. The new service offers a control panel hosted in Azure, automatic updates, self-healing, and simple scaling, as well as a convenient user interface for developers and cluster operators. With the help of AKS, you can realize the benefits of the platform with the Kubernetes code without any difficulties and additional costs. You only pay for virtual machines nodes. Kubernetes cluster management is carried out in AKS for free. After all, we all understand: if we are talking about the cloud, you only need to pay for the resources actually consumed.
In the demo below, notice how easy it is to create a new AKS cluster, update Kubernetes 1.7.7 cluster to version 1.8.1 and scale the cluster from three to ten nodes.
In fact, the Azure Container Service, which supports many container orchestrators, has been running since 2015. However, the new features and innovative pricing model are focused on the Kubernetes platform, which actually became the standard solution for container orchestration. Unique community support and seamless portability make Kubernetes the perfect orchestrator for standardizing systems — Brendan Burns, one of the creators of Kubernetes, is now working on containers in Azure.
We also announced managed container registries in Azure (ACR). ACR provides a private registry that scales to meet the needs of the company, supports three sizes. A preliminary version of the geo-replication for ACR is available to take advantage of Azure’s global reach. One click on the map can now manage a single registry that is replicated among many regions. Any operation of sending and receiving a container image is forwarded by the ACR service to the nearest registry. ACR geo-replication allows you to manage global deployments as a single entity. Geo-replication is a first-of-its-kind feature that targets customers working globally.
We remind you that you can try Azure for free .
