Introduction to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Edge Essentials

Determine when to use AKS Edge Essentials to automate and run your containerized applications. Describe how AKS Edge Essentials uses Windows IoT Enterprise to deploy a lightweight Kubernetes platform.

Create your first Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Edge Essentials single machine cluster

Deploy AKS Edge Essentials in a single machine K3S cluster with a Linux and Windows node. You'll create an Azure virtual machine (VM) with Windows 11 Enterprise, deploy AKS Edge Essentials and run a Linux and Windows sample application on the cluster.

Connect your Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Edge Essentials cluster to Azure Arc

Deploy applications to Azure Arc-enabled AKS Edge Essentials cluster with GitOps and Flux. You'll create an Azure virtual machine (VM) with Windows 11 Enterprise, deploy AKS Edge Essentials single machine K3S cluster with a Linux node, and connect it to Azure Arc. You'll then deploy a sample application to the cluster with GitOps and Flux.
