Most people learn Kubernetes in isolation.
Professionals learn it through Automation.

In this video, we move beyond theory and build a Production-Grade Continuous Deployment (CD) Pipeline using Azure DevOps, Docker, ACR, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

You’ll see how a real enterprise workflow works — from pushing code to Git, building Docker images, storing them in Azure Container Registry, and deploying them to AKS using Kubernetes YAML Manifests (deployment.yaml & service.yaml) via a Self-Hosted Agent.

If you’re preparing for a Senior DevOps role, AKS-based projects, or AZ-400 certification, this workflow is non-negotiable in 2026.

What You’ll Master in This Video
The Kubernetes “Why”
Why AKS is the gold standard for enterprise-grade scaling and microservices.
Infrastructure Fundamentals
AKS Cluster creation, Nodes vs Pods, Node Count explained practically.
The ACR Handshake
Granting AcrPull permissions so AKS can securely pull Docker images.
Kubernetes Manifests (CORE SKILL)
Writing deployment.yaml and service.yaml from scratch and understanding every field.
The CD Pipeline (YAML)
Extending CI into a full Continuous Deployment pipeline using Azure DevOps YAML.
Real Automation Flow
Git Push Docker Build ACR Push AKS Deploy App LIVE

This is real DevOps, exactly how companies deploy applications today.

PERFECT FOR
