Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) aims at the easy installation of a hosted Kubernetes cluster on Azure. It is solely responsible for managing containerized applications. It's an open-source solution for scaling, automatic deployment, and managing traffic. Azure deals with important functions like health diagnosis and management as a managed Kubernetes service. You solely manage and maintain the agent nodes because the Kubernetes masters are controlled by Azure. As a result, AKS is completely free; you only have to pay for the agent nodes in your clusters.
