Microsoft Azure
To plan an Azure AKS deployment, use the sizing and infrastructure baseline in the Azure deployment guide, so that the numbers you plan against and the steps you follow stay in one place:
That page covers AKS networking and node pools, Azure SQL Managed Instance, Azure Cache for Redis, and the storage baseline for the in-cluster services.
At a glance
The following table lists the baseline for each Azure item:
| Item | Baseline |
|---|---|
| Kubernetes | Azure AKS with Azure CNI networking |
| SQL | Azure SQL Managed Instance |
| Cache | Azure Cache for Redis |
| Kafka | Confluent Cloud or in-cluster. Event Hubs with the Kafka layer is not supported |
| MongoDB | MongoDB Atlas or in-cluster |
For the deployment steps themselves, start at Environment setup.
