AKS simplifies deploying a managed k8s cluster by offloading the operational overhead to Azure
Azure handles
- health monitoring
- maintenance
Azure doesnot charge for cluster
We can create an AKS Cluster from Azure CLI/Azure Powershell/Azure Portal
- Azure CLI Refer Here
- Azure Powershell Refer Here
- Azure Portal Refer Here
Lets deploy a sample deployment in aks
Now delete the deployment
Scaling number of nodes in aks cluster

az aks scale --resource-group myResourceGroup --name myAKSCluster --node-count 3 --nodepool-name nodepool1

To define different tiers of storage such as premium and stadard we can define storage classes.
In AKS we have four initial StorageClass
- default: Uses Azure Standard SSD storage to create a managed disk.
- managed-premium: Use azure Premium storage to create managed disk
- azurefile: uses standard storage to create an Azure file share
- azurefile-premium: uses premimum storage to create an Azure file share
Lets create a sample pod to use Azure Disk with dynamic provisioning Refer Here
Refer Here to create a static disk
Refer Here to create a dynamic pv using azure file

AWS EKS is a managed service that we can use to run k8s on AWS without needing to install, operated and maintain own k8s control plane
Install eksctl, kubectl and ensure iam is configured
Now create the cluster following the documentation Refer Here
Refer Here for the loadbalancing sample
Lets create basic networking with load balancers
To create ingress Refer Here
annotations in aws for load balancers Refer Here
Refer Here for the ingress sample
Refer Here to understand storage and networking in aws and other clouds
