Azure Kubernetes Service

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), as we mentioned earlier, is a managed Kubernetes offering from Microsoft Azure. Looking back at the Kubernetes architecture, we know that there are two types of hosts in Kubernetes clusters – master and nodes. In the world of AKS, there's no master for end users. Microsoft creates and manages master nodes and hides them away from end-users.

As a user, you only deploy AKS nodes (Kubernetes nodes) in your subscription, whereas the configuration of Kubernetes and the joining of Microsoft-managed Kubernetes masters happens in the background. With AKS, you only pay for the nodes' infrastructure cost; masters are provided for free by Microsoft.
