🚀 Transform Your AKS Expertise with Real-World Enterprise Scenarios

The Modern Azure Kubernetes Hackfest (AKS) is an intensive, hands-on experience designed for cloud architects and DevOps engineers ready to master production-grade Kubernetes on Azure. Through 9 comprehensive modules, you'll build a complete, enterprise-hardened AKS foundation from the ground up.

💡 What Makes This Hackfest Different

This isn't theory—it's scenario-based learning where you'll tackle real enterprise challenges. You'll implement cutting-edge technologies including Azure CNI Powered by Cilium (eBPF), Application Gateway for Containers with Gateway API, and Flux v2 GitOps workflows. Every module combines architectural guidance with hands-on labs that mirror actual production deployments.

🎯 Core Competencies You'll Master

  • Advanced Networking: Azure CNI with Cilium eBPF dataplane, App Routing with managed NGINX, and Gateway API patterns
  • Zero-Trust Security: Microsoft Entra Workload ID, Key Vault CSI integration, Pod Security Admission, and Azure Policy enforcement
  • Modern CI/CD: GitHub Actions with OIDC authentication and Flux v2 GitOps for multi-environment delivery
  • Full-Stack Observability: Managed Prometheus and Grafana dashboards with SLO tracking and alerting
  • FinOps Excellence: OpenCost-powered cost analysis, right-sizing strategies, and resource optimization
  • Threat Protection: Defender for Containers with runtime protection and compliance-driven deployments

✨ Your Outcome

Walk away with a production-ready blueprint and hands-on experience to deploy secure, observable, and cost-optimized AKS clusters that meet enterprise compliance and performance requirements. Perfect for teams preparing for large-scale Kubernetes adoption.
