In this module, we will explore the security measures for protecting the Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) in AKS clusters. Through demonstrations, you will learn to implement network policies to restrict IMDS access, ensuring enhanced security for your AKS environment.

In this module, we will focus on exposing AKS applications securely through Azure API Management. You will learn to configure both standard and Self-Hosted Gateways, along with the usage of Terraform to automate the setup, ensuring secure and controlled traffic flow for your AKS apps.

In this module, we will cover how to expose AKS applications securely with Azure Front Door. You will learn to configure Front Door alongside Private Link Service (PLS) and use Terraform for automation, ensuring optimized and secure management of your AKS traffic.

In this module, we will examine AKS versioning, the support lifecycle, and how to manage updates. You will learn the different options for upgrading your AKS clusters, helping ensure your environment is always up-to-date and secure.

In this module, we will guide you through the process of creating custom Azure RBAC roles to manage security and access within AKS. You’ll learn how to control who can interact with AKS resources and set permissions tailored to your organizational needs.

In this module, we will delve into the customization and configuration of Log Analytics agents for AKS monitoring. You will learn how to fine-tune your logging setup to effectively monitor and troubleshoot your AKS environment using Azure's tools.

In this module, we will introduce Karpenter, an open-source solution for automatic scaling in AKS. You will learn how to integrate Karpenter to optimize resource usage, ensuring your AKS clusters are both cost-efficient and scalable.

In this module, we will explore the setup and integration of Prometheus, Grafana, and Log Analytics for comprehensive AKS monitoring. You will also learn how to automate these configurations using Terraform and secure your logs using AMPLS for private monitoring.

In this module, we will show you how to create and configure Grafana dashboards to effectively monitor AKS logs and metrics. You will also explore how to import pre-built dashboards and use Azure CLI for efficient setup and management.

In this module, we will focus on using the Azure Monitor Agent (AMA) for advanced AKS monitoring. You’ll learn how to authenticate and configure AMA to collect metrics from your AKS clusters and integrate with Prometheus for enhanced data insights.

In this module, we will explore GitOps principles using ArgoCD for continuous application deployment in AKS. You will see how to automate both application and Helm chart deployments, streamlining your AKS management process.

In this module, we will guide you through running Large Language Models (LLM) like Ollama in AKS. You’ll learn to deploy LLM models, integrate them with a chat application, and manage them using Docker containers within your AKS clusters.

In this module, we will focus on AKS cost analysis and optimization. You’ll learn how to track resource utilization, manage your AKS app costs, and implement strategies to optimize your spending in AKS environments.

In this module, we will explore AKS Automatic, a tool designed to reduce manual overhead and optimize resource scaling in AKS clusters. You’ll see how it improves performance and ensures high availability by automating key management tasks.

In this module, we will introduce the concept of ABAC in Azure and how it can be used with ACR to securely manage access to resources in AKS. You’ll see how to configure and enforce ABAC policies for better access control.

In this module, we will cover the process of setting up AKS, ACR, and VMs within a private Virtual Network (VNET). You will learn how to create a private AKS environment, configure Private ACR, and establish secure connections between all components.
