Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) vs. Azure App Service

The training held at Mirai LLC focused on comparing Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure App Service, helping participants understand the key differences and use cases of each compute model. Attendees learned how to choose the right compute model based on application requirements, scalability needs, and management preferences.

As a mentor, I provided participants with an overview of both AKS and Azure App Service, explaining their core functionalities, benefits, and ideal scenarios for use. Through interactive sessions and practical examples, participants explored how AKS is suitable for container orchestration and complex workloads, while Azure App Service is ideal for simplified web applications and microservices with minimal infrastructure management.

This training greatly benefited participants by deepening their understanding of cloud-based compute models and how to leverage them effectively for different business needs. By comparing the features, scalability, and cost structures of both services, participants were able to make more informed decisions for their projects, strengthening their cloud architecture skills and preparing them for real-world cloud challenges. Through hands-on exercises, they gained practical experience in configuring and deploying workloads on both AKS and Azure App Service, enhancing their expertise in Azure cloud technologies.
