Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a fully managed Kubernetes service that simplifies the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications. By handling critical tasks such as health monitoring, maintenance, and scaling, AKS reduces the operational overhead associated with Kubernetes management. This allows developers to focus on building and deploying applications without the complexities of infrastructure management.
