2 – Managed container platform layer

  • AKS-HCI automates running containerized workloads at scale on-premises with fully integrated life cycle management and security. AKS-HCI operates in a hybrid environment using code, consistent design patterns, and best-practices from Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) in Azure Global. This means software developers can start creating modern applications in Windows or Linux-based containers and run them on AKS or AKS-HCI without modifying code.

    IT administrators benefit in many ways at this layer of the architecture.

    • The setup of AKS-HCI can be accomplished with Windows Admin Center or PowerShell, which removes the complexity of deploying Kubernetes on-premises.
    • AKS-HCI is kept current at a public cloud cadence ensuring software developers are working with the latest available Kubernetes versions.
    • Operators can easily scale the workload clusters out or in to meet application demand – avoiding under or overprovisioning.
    • Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes provides rich monitoring, GitOps-based configuration management and policy enforcement.
