What Hacker News says
3 sourcesOh, sorry, that was tongue in the cheek. They are cloud providers, and as such they provide costumers with separate cluster.
The aks-engine repo let you peep to what goes behind the scenes, but this is not the kind of beast you will grow at home - it is a public cloud provider with global scale, with the expected level of complexity and engineering. It is available on: https://github.com/Azure/aks-engine
In Virtual KubernetesI prefer aks engine to aks. https://github.com/Azure/aks-engine
- Azure control nodes have problems all the time, running my own is easy
- With aka engine multiple nodepool support is easy and not a “preview”
- we use low priority nodes and those are not supported in stock aks, and it won’t probably for a year
