Tips on Azure AKS hybrid clusters

Here are some tips for working with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) hybrid clusters:

1. Use Azure Arc to manage resources across on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge environments: Azure Arc allows you to manage resources such as servers, Kubernetes clusters, and applications across on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge environments using the same control plane as Azure resources.
2. Use Azure Arc enabled Kubernetes to deploy and manage hybrid clusters: Azure Arc enabled Kubernetes allows you to deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters across on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge environments using the same control plane as Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
3. Use Azure ExpressRoute for secure and reliable connectivity: ExpressRoute is a service provided by Azure that allows you to create private connections between your on-premises infrastructure and Azure datacenters. This can be used to create a secure and reliable connection between your on-premises resources and your AKS hybrid cluster.
4. Use Azure Policy for governance and compliance: Azure Policy allows you to create, assign, and manage policies that enforce specific rules and effects for your resources. This can be used to ensure that your AKS hybrid clusters adhere to specific governance and compliance requirements.
5. Use Azure Monitor for monitoring and troubleshooting: Azure Monitor allows you to collect, analyze, and act on telemetry from your resources. This can be used to monitor the performance and health of your AKS hybrid clusters and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
6. Use Azure Virtual Network to extend network to on-premises: Azure Virtual Network allows you to create a virtual network in Azure and connect it to your on-premises network. This can be used to extend the network for your AKS hybrid cluster to your on-premises resources.
7. Use Azure Private Link for secure communication between your on-premises resources and AKS: Azure Private Link allows you to securely access Azure PaaS services over an Azure Private Endpoint in your virtual network. This can be used to securely communicate between your on-premises resources and AKS hybrid cluster.
8. Use Azure Log Analytics for log collection, analysis, and visualization: Azure Log Analytics allows you to collect, analyze, and visualize log data from your resources. This can be used to troubleshoot issues with your AKS hybrid clusters and to monitor the health and performance of your applications.

It’s worth noting that AKS hybrid clusters are still in preview and the above tips may change as the service matures.
