Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

What a great week we had at Build 2019! We all had tremendous fun meeting developers, talking about new technologies, and sharing our vision for the future.

At Ignite 2018, we shared the vision to bring monitoring infrastructure, applications, and the network into one unified offering, providing full stack monitoring for your applications.

Offering serverless Kubernetes has been key part of our vision to make Kubernetes simpler for everyone – by providing an end-to-end experience optimized for developer productivity on top of an enterprise-grade platform with hardened security and layers of isolation.

Spinnaker is an open source, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform for releasing software changes with high velocity and confidence. It is being chosen by a growing number of enterprises as the open source continuous deployment platform used to modernize their application deployments.

Kubernetes is going from strength to strength as adoption across the industry continues to grow. But there are still plenty of customers coming to container orchestration for the first time while also building up their familiarity with Docker and containers in general.

KubeCon North America 2018: Serverless Kubernetes and community led innovation, Azure Monitor for containers now generally available, Microsoft previews neural network text-to-speech, and much more.

We’re excited to see everyone at Kubecon this week! We’ve been working with our customers to understand how they’re thinking about Kubernetes and what we can do to make it easier for them.

Welcome to KubeCon North America 2018, and welcome to Seattle. It’s amazing to get the chance to welcome you to my hometown, and the site of Kubernetes birth.

There is no denying the momentum of the Kubernetes platform and ecosystem, with virtually every enterprise looking to run containers at scale at some stage of adopting it.

Choosing the right type of hardware for deep learning tasks is a widely discussed topic. An obvious conclusion is that the decision should be dependent on the task at hand and based on factors such as throughput requirements and cost.

Ansible 2.6 was recently released and I am excited to share with you what’s new for Azure in Ansible 2.6. In total, four new Azure modules were added in addition to over 17 enhancements to our existing modules.

Happy Birthday Kubernetes! In the short three years that Kubernetes has been around, it has become the industry standard for orchestration of containerized workloads.
