After I showed you how to deploy a Web App to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) using.YAML today I will show you something a bit simple.
Today, you will see how I deploy an Nginx webserver to AKS in two minutes and make it available to the outside world.
In his post, I will use the AKS Kubernetes Dashboard also known as Web UI.
About AKS
Released a few weeks ago and currently, in public preview, AKS offers a managed Kubernetes cluster that can be scaled up and on-demand without needing to configure Containers, host, storage networks, etc.
Get Started
Before you start, make sure you visit my Deploy AKS articles.
Once my cluster is up and running I will start AKS Dashboard and click on the create button to the right top corner and select CREATE AN APP
In the app details, I will fill in the information below:
App Name: Nginx
Container Image: nginx:latest
Nuber of pods: 1
Service: External
Port: 80 and 80 for both
Next, I will click on Deploy
Once deployed it will take around 2 – 4 minutes for the container to be up and running and available externally.
After a few minutes, I will click on Services and my Nginx server is ready using the external endpoint listed
If I click on external endpoint I will see my server up and running
