Today, we’ll take a look at a new feature in AKS called Azure Private Link, which allows you to connect to AKS securely and privately over the Microsoft Azure backbone network. In the past, connecting to AKS from an on-premises network or other virtual network required using a public IP address, which posed potential security […]

Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, as with the electricity grid.
Cloud computing is a natural evolution of the widespread adoption of virtualization, Service-oriented architecture and utility computing. Details are abstracted from consumers, who no longer have need for expertise in, or control over, the technology infrastructure “in the cloud” that supports them.[1] Cloud computing describes a new supplement, consumption, and delivery model for IT services based on the Internet, and it typically involves over-the-Internet provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources.[2][3] It is a byproduct and consequence of the ease-of-access to remote computing sites provided by the Internet.[4] This frequently takes the form of web-based tools or applications that users can access and use through a web browser as if it were a program installed locally on their…
Mastering GKE: A Deep Dive into Google Kubernetes Engine for Production Workloads
Introduction: Google Kubernetes Engine represents the gold standard for managed Kubernetes, built on the same infrastructure that runs Google’s own containerized workloads at massive scale. This deep dive explores GKE’s enterprise capabilities—from Autopilot mode that eliminates node management to advanced features like workload identity, binary authorization, and multi-cluster service mesh. After deploying production Kubernetes clusters […]
