Scalable Microservices Architecture Using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

This paper explores the scalability of microservices architectures using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), a managed container orchestration platform provided by Microsoft Azure. It examines the core principles of microservices architecture and the associated challenges in scaling, such as load balancing, service discovery, and distributed state management. The study further compares AKS with other leading cloud-based Kubernetes solutions like AWS EKS and Google GKE, analyzing their features, scalability capabilities, and integration with cloud services. By reviewing best practices and challenges in scaling microservices, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of AKS's role in deploying and managing scalable microservices applications. The research highlights the benefits of AKS for organizations seeking to optimize performance and scalability while maintaining security and reliability. Ultimately, this paper contributes valuable insights into the practical use of AKS for large-scale microservices deployment in cloud environments.
