Summary

By the end of this chapter, we are now able to access and navigate the Azure portal to perform all the functions required to launch AKS and also to use the free trial on Azure to your advantage while learning the ins and outs of AKS and other Azure services. We launched our own AKS cluster with the ability to customize configurations if required using Azure Portal. We also learned to use Azure Cloud Shell without installing anything on your computer. This is important for all the upcoming sections, where you will be doing a lot more than launching simple applications. Finally, we launched a publicly accessible service that works! The skeleton of this application is the same for the complex applications that you will be launching in the next sections.
