Deploying a Kubernetes Cluster Using Azure Kubernetes Service

As a Cloud Engineer for a tech startup, you’ve been tasked with setting up a new Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster to host an application. This is very important, as your team wants to run the same app that they run on-premises. So, this solution must work.

To accomplish this, you will complete the following tasks:

• Create an AKS cluster in the East US region.
• Deploy a test application to mimic the application.
• Configure autoscaling to a max of 4 nodes.
• Test the cluster to see if what you created works!

Use the following YAML code to configure the application:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: vote-service
  labels:
    app: vote
spec:
  selector:
    app: vote
  ports:
    - name: http
      port: 80
      targetPort: 80
    - name: udp
      port: 5000
      targetPort: 5000
  type: LoadBalancer
---
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: vote-deployment
  labels:
    app: vote
spec:
  replicas: 2
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: vote
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: vote
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: vote
          image: dockersamples/examplevotingapp_vote:before
          ports:
            - name: http
              containerPort: 80
            - name: udp
              containerPort: 5000
