I second this. Seriously, don't use AKS. It looks so nice in the docs. In practice, you'll run into so many issues, I'm convinced no one actually uses AKS in production for anything major.
If your apps are simple enough that you can get away with Azure Container Instances/Apps, use them.
If you need proper managed k8, use OpenShift. Microsoft has a partnership with RedHat and RH provides full support.
- ahoka 3y agoSome examples of those issues would be nice to back up your claim.

- whoknowsidont 3y agoLiterally 4 weeks ago we had to migrated over to another host because we couldn't create another node pool. I don't think the age of the article matters.

- hunterjrj 3y agoMicrosoft uses AKS for their production workloads, but only for “minor” projects like “Office 365” which only has a “few” (200 million) users. https://customers.microsoft.com/en-us/story/1536483517282553662-modernizing-microsoft-365-windows-containers-azure-kubernetes-service https://customers.microsoft.com/en-us/story/1536483517282553...
- whoknowsidont 3y agoWhat on God's green earth makes you think MS is going to release their dirty laundry to the public about one of their products using another one of their own products? Like there's a litany of literature of how AKS completely dropped the ball, you don't have to take anyone's word on it from this thread. The difference between AKS and other offerings is _striking_.
