Azure Application Gateway for Containers (with Gateway API)

Description

Application Gateway for Containers is Application Gateway Ingress Controller (AGIC)'s successor.

This comprehensive course on Application Gateway for Containers provides in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience to effectively deploy and manage web applications in Azure. You will learn the fundamentals of containers, Kubernetes, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and the Azure Application Gateway for Containers, and then dive into the intricacies of Application Gateway for Containers setup, configuration, and advanced usage scenarios.

Starting with an introduction to containers and microservices architecture, you will explore Docker, Docker Hub, and container app deployment. You will gain understanding of the Application Gateway for Containers and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), including basic Kubernetes objects as well as Gateway API and Ingress API.

You will learn Application Gateway for Containers components, how to use both deployment strategies (bring your own - BYO and managed by the ALB controller), how it routes the requests to the backend AKS pods, and more.

With a focus on routing and configuration, you will discover how to host multiple sites, implement URL/path- , header- or query string-based routing, as well as cross namespace routing, including using ReferenceGrant.

The course also covers SSL/TLS certificate creation and implementation of SSL Offloading/Termination and mutual TLS (mTLS). Additionally, because the Gateway API is role-oriented, we will implement a Security Model in AKS.

Monitoring and troubleshooting are also covered in detail.

By the end of this course, you will have the knowledge and skills to confidently deploy and manage web applications using Application Gateway for Containers, leverage advanced configuration options, ensure reliability and high availability, and effectively monitor and troubleshoot your deployments.

Join this course and unlock the power of Application Gateway for Containers to streamline your web application delivery!
