Portainer and Azure Kubernetes

If you are deploying container-based apps in Microsoft's managed Kubernetes cluster then Portainer Business is an essential add on. It is the difference between having a managed Kubernetes service and having a practical, scalable ‘Containers-as-a-Service’ (CaaS) for your business. Without Portainer Business you’ll need a lot of time and some serious CLI expertise to make any sense out of Kubernetes.

Portainer Business makes managed Kubernetes easy with:

• Simple GUI for end users to deploy applications into the environments
• Monitoring and Observability dashboard for container/application monitoring
• Ability to set up and manage Governance and Security policies to resources
• Integration via standard Kubernetes API to allow end users to ‘bring your own tools’ 
• Integration via standard Kubernetes API to support an existing Git based CI/CD workflow
• Set up fine grained Role Based Access Controls leveraging external authentication
