Azure Stack HCI - Part IX - Azure Kubernetes Service Deployment

This is a series of blogs about my experiences with Azure Stack HCI

In this blog series I plan to blog about everything I know about Azure Stack HCI. So, it should be a very short blog series. Just kidding. Again, I tend to blog about subjects that I am currently working on or will be currently working on. So, Azure Stack HCI is fresh on my mind again these days. I now have Azure Stack HCI cluster deployed. We can manage it using Windows Admin Center or PowerShell.

My MicroK8s Cluster Is Now Manged by Azure. What is next? - Part II - Monitoring

Using Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes to Monitor, Secure, Regulate, Deploy and more

This is next blog in a series of blogs I just started that share my experiences with integrating Azure services with my on-premises deployment of MicroK8s Kubernetes cluster running in WSL. These blog series are an extension of another blog series I did called MicroK8S and WSL Managed by Azure Arc. At a high level there is a lot of Azure Services we can integrate and use with our Kubernetes clusters running anywhere, such as on-premises, or even GCP and AWS.

In a previous blog series MicroK8S and WSL Managed by Azure Arc - A blog series about my experiences with MicroK8S, WSL, and Azure Arc I had a curiosity to see if I could deploy MicroK8s on my WIndows 10 WSL instance and then manage the WSL instance with Azure Arc and then manage the MicroK8s cluster using Arc-enabled Kubernetes. So let’s refresh here a little. I was able to get a MicroK8s cluster deployed on WSL running on my Windows 10 laptop.
