Working with multiple Kubernetes Clusters on Azure Container Service

When using multiple Kubernetes clusters on Azure Container Service, I see people executing the az acs kubernetes get-credentials command every time they need to reconnect to a different cluster. This works, but is not needed. You can do it easier.

Configure Https / TLS / SSL on Kubernetes with Kube-Lego hosted on Azure Container Service

What if you can configure your infrastucture with a process that requests your SSL Certificates automatic. Not only this, but this process registeres the certificates in your infrastructure also. There is more. The process also requests new versions of certificates every 30 days so the certificate will not expire. All of this, complely automated. It’s even completely free! You or your traditional ops department won’t believe this is possible.

Enter the new world of infrastructure: Kube-Lego, ofcourse hosted on Kubernetes.
Now I hear you think: “This is to good to be true. It must be hard to configure”. The configuration is really easy actually, as you will see in this blogpost.

Configure Ingress on Kubernetes using Azure Container Service

In my blogpost about running a .NET Core 2 application in Kubernetes which can be found here, I’m creating a Service to expose the .NET Core 2 Webapi, so the service gets a public IP address. The configuration looks like this:

Automate the deployment of .NET Core 2 Docker containers to Kubernetes with Azure Container Service and Azure Container Registry using VSTS

Previous blogpost coveres all steps to create a Docker Image from a .NET Core 2 WebAPI application on your local machine. After that, the Docker Image was pushed to Azure Container Registry (ACR). The deployment to Kubernetes pulled this Docker Image from ACR and runs a number of instances. All steps were executed manually. Let’s automate this using VSTS.

Run .NET Core 2 Docker images in Kubernetes using Azure Container Service and Azure Container Registry

This blogpost shows you the bare minimal steps to run .NET Core 2 Docker images in Kubernetes. Kubernetes is hosted in Azure with Azure Container Service and we are using Azure Container Registry as our private Docker Hub.

SSH keys on Windows for Kubernetes with Azure Container Service (ACS)

I’m on Windows and want to connect to my Kubernetes Linux cluster provisioned with Azure Container Service. I want to connect in the command prompt so I can use Kubectl and I want to connect with PuTTY also. Besides this I also want to know which keys to use when provisioning the ACS Kubernetes cluster in the Azure Portal and also which key to use when provisioning with ARM templates.

Started Dutch Azure Meetup

This week Marco Mansi, Sander Molenkamp and I started the Dutch Azure Meetup: http://www.meetup.com/Dutch-Azure-Meetup/

Azure offers a lot of services and features, and this grows almost daily. It’s hard to be up-to-date on all the Azure features. This meetup gives you the opportunity to learn about Azure in a practical way.
