Introduction to Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager
Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager is a powerful solution offered by Microsoft Azure that enables seamless management of Kubernetes clusters at scale. This tool is designed to address the complexities of multicluster scenarios for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters, providing features like workload propagation, north-south load balancing, and upgrade orchestration across multiple clusters.
Centralized Cluster Management with Fleet Cluster
One of the key features of Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager is the ability to centrally manage all your clusters at scale. The Fleet cluster ensures that you can efficiently organize and group any combination of your AKS clusters. This centralized management approach simplifies multi-cluster workflows, allowing you to propagate Kubernetes configurations and set up multi-cluster networking effortlessly.
Managed Hub Cluster for Simplified Operations
To further streamline your operations, Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager offers a managed hub cluster that takes care of upgrades and Kubernetes cluster configurations automatically. By relying on this hub cluster, you can focus on other business priorities while ensuring that your cluster operations run smoothly and efficiently.
Efficient Kubernetes Configuration Propagation
With Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager, you can define propagation policies to control how Kubernetes configurations are disseminated across member clusters. This feature allows you to enforce policies and overrides seamlessly, ensuring consistency across your fleet of clusters.
Enhanced Load Balancing with North-South Load Balancer
The North-South load balancer in Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager orchestrates traffic flow across workloads deployed in multiple member clusters. This capability enables efficient load balancing for traffic flowing into the clusters, optimizing performance and resource utilization.
Comprehensive Security and Compliance Measures
Microsoft's commitment to cybersecurity is evident in Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager, with over $1 billion invested annually in cybersecurity research and development. With a dedicated team of more than 3,500 security experts, Azure ensures robust data security and privacy for all users.
Pricing and Support
Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager itself does not incur any charges; however, users will be billed for the AKS cluster created by the tool. The pricing will include costs for virtual machines, storage, and networking resources consumed by the AKS cluster. For detailed pricing information, users can refer to the AKS pricing page.
