What you'll learn
- Containerization, Kubernetes, AKS, Application Gateway basics
- What Application Gateway Ingress Controller (AGIC) is, networking considerations, deployment methods
- How to expose applications via custom domain name
- AGIC routing and other AGIC-related annotations
- How to create multiple types of TLS/SSL certificates and expose applications via HTTPS, using TLS/SSL termination or End-to-End TLS/SSL
- AGIC-related security, including Web Application Firewall (WAF)
- Other AGIC-related configurations like restricting it to specific namespaces or sharing the Application Gateway with other Azure services
- How to monitor and troubleshoot the Application Gateway and its traffic
- How to achieve reliability and high availability
Requirements
- It is good to have basic knowledge of Containerization, Linux, Networking, Kubernetes, Azure, Application Gateway, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) but I am explaining most of the concepts at specific points in the course
Description
This comprehensive course on Application Gateway Ingress Controller (AGIC) 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, and then dive into the intricacies of AGIC 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 Azure Application Gateway and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), including basic Kubernetes objects and ingress controllers.
The course covers various installation methods for AGIC, networking considerations, and the deployment process using both the Greenfield and Brownfield methods, as well as the installation via AKS managed add-on or via Helm. You will learn how to configure AGIC for both public and private IPs, utilize VNET peering, scale application gateways, and manage annotations.
With a focus on routing and configuration, you will discover how to implement URL/path-based routing, host multiple sites and subdomains, customize health probes, utilize cookie-based affinity and more. The course also covers SSL certificate creation or importation, security considerations, and implementing Web Application Firewall (WAF) for enhanced application protection.
You will explore additional AGIC configurations and considerations, such as namespace restrictions, sharing AGIC-managed gateways with other Azure resources, and integrating multiple ingress controllers in the same AKS cluster. Monitoring and troubleshooting AGIC/Application Gateway, high availability, and using Azure Front Door for traffic routing are also covered in detail.
By the end of this course, you will have the knowledge and skills to confidently deploy and manage application gateways using AGIC, leverage advanced configuration options, ensure reliability and high availability, and effectively monitor and troubleshoot your deployments.
