Has supported seamless microservices deployment and improved cost control through managed infrastructure
Microsoft Azure Container Service includes being a very mature tool and a fully managed service, making it ready to use. You can simply opt for it and use it. As a managed service, you don't need to take care of the managed components. You only need to take care of whatever user-space you are managing. All the managed components are taken care of by Microsoft. They provide support for different upgrade operations, and anything related to managed components such as the controller nodes, those things they can take care of automatically. This is actually a very challenging task that is handled by Microsoft itself. Microsoft Azure Container Service has positively impacted my organization as it is a very mature tool and, when using the Azure platform, it's highly secure. It can offer end-to-end encryption and take care of all kinds of compliance. It also offers Azure Defender for Cloud that can provide security recommendations on a daily basis, making it a very mature product.
