Yes, I have played with AKS. You do not pay for the Kubernetes masters, just the nodes. In the prior version of the product (ACS) you would specify a cluster size as a number of masters and a number of workers/nodes. In AKS, you only manage the latter and Azure abstracts away the Kubernetes API.

In the prior version of the product (ACS) you would specify a cluster size as a number of masters and a number of workers/nodes. In AKS, you only manage the latter and Azure abstracts away the Kubernetes API. On GKE, if i run a Kubernetes cluster of size 1, I'm still charged for a single VM. You're saying that if I do the equivalent on Azure, I won't get charged at all?
- bonesss 9y agoBased on the comments in this thread GCE charges you for masters on clusters with 6 or more nodes, while MS AKS will only charge you for the nodes. As with anything cloud related, though: it's all about relevant cost calculations for the specific solution...
