When you take your first steps into the world of Cloud application deployment, you won\u2019t get far without hearing the name \u201cKubernetes\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kubernetes is an open source, widely supported, rapidly growing platform for managing containerized workloads and services. Containers are virtualized run-time environments that make it easy to share CPU, memory, storage, and network resources at the operating systems level. They offer a logical packaging mechanism in which applications can be abstracted from the environment in which they actually run. Kubernetes automates the manual processes involved in deploying, managing, and scaling containers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) brings the Microsoft Azure cloud platform together with Kubernetes\u2019 orchestration technology to offer deployment, scaling, and management of Docker containers and container-based applications. It also offers provisioning, scaling, and upgrading of resources based on client demand or requirements, all without any Kubernetes cluster downtime. Docker creates the containers that hold application code and dependencies, and Kubernetes operates and scales groups of those containers to run applications in production.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the services that can integrate with AKS is the Azure Container Registry (ACR), a registry that holds Docker images. Images are immutable files that contain source code, libraries, dependencies, tools, and the other files needed to run an application. Containers use images to run applications, and the Azure Container Registry is built to receive and store images to run in containerized environments. ACR is a common part of container development workflow and can integrate with continuous integration and delivery tools like Azure Pipelines.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In this blog post, we will show an example of how you can package an application using Azure Kubernetes Service, push that application as a Docker image through an Azure Pipeline to the Azure Container Registry, and finally pull the Docker image back out of the Azure Container Registry so that you can run it on your machine and access it via your web browser.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Automation of this process would be expected in industry, per the Azure Pipeline\u2019s definition as a medium for continuous integration and delivery. But in order to automate it, we must understand it step by step.\u00a0<\/p>\n
