Speed up your AKS Deployment with the AKS Landing Zone Accelerator!

Whether you’re new to Kubernetes, or have experience building K8S environments, you know (or will know soon!) building a complete Kubernetes operational environment is hard work!

As you look at Azure Kubernetes Service, the Azure team has done a lot of work to make the process of this work easier and faster, while remaining secure. Introducing the AKS Landing Zone Accelerator!

AKS Accelerator dramatically speeds up this work by providing the templates and deployment scripts to quickly create a fully configured, Kubernetes environment, tailored to meet your operational and security needs, ready to run your workloads in production.

How exactly does this help?

  • It provides reference architectures, as well as landing zone architectures to remove guesswork, based on the AKS baseline, all in a GitHub repository.
  • The ability to templatize and customize deployments with environment variables.
  • Design guidelines and checklists.
  • The AKS construction helper to walk through the creation of the AKS operational environment.

The AKS Construction helper is awesome – I highly recommend you check it out!

It will walk you through what you want to create, and then give you either a Bicep script or GitHub Actions YAML file to use..

Enjoy!
