## Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
The [Azure Kubernetes Service](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/kubernetes-service/) offers simple
|
||
|
|
deployments for Kubernetes clusters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For an example of deploying a Kubernetes cluster onto Azure via the Azure Kubernetes Service:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**[Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/intro-kubernetes)**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
## Custom Deployments: AKS-Engine
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The core of the Azure Kubernetes Service is **open source** and available on GitHub for the community
|
||
|
|
to use and contribute to: **[AKS-Engine](https://github.com/Azure/aks-engine)**. The legacy [ACS-Engine](https://github.com/Azure/acs-engine) codebase has been deprecated in favor of AKS-engine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
AKS-Engine is a good choice if you need to make customizations to the deployment beyond what the Azure Kubernetes
|
||
|
|
Service officially supports. These customizations include deploying into existing virtual networks, utilizing multiple
|
||
|
|
agent pools, and more. Some community contributions to AKS-Engine may even become features of the Azure Kubernetes Service.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The input to AKS-Engine is an apimodel JSON file describing the Kubernetes cluster. It is similar to the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template syntax used to deploy a cluster directly with the Azure Kubernetes Service. The resulting output is an ARM template that can be checked into source control and used to deploy Kubernetes clusters to Azure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can get started by following the **[AKS-Engine Kubernetes Tutorial](https://github.com/Azure/aks-engine/blob/master/docs/tutorials/README.md)**.

## CoreOS Tectonic for Azure
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The CoreOS Tectonic Installer for Azure is **open source** and available on GitHub for the community to use and contribute to: **[Tectonic Installer](https://github.com/coreos/tectonic-installer)**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tectonic Installer is a good choice when you need to make cluster customizations as it is built on [Hashicorp's Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/azurerm/) Azure Resource Manager (ARM) provider. This enables users to customize or integrate using familiar Terraform tooling.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can get started using the [Tectonic Installer for Azure Guide](https://coreos.com/tectonic/docs/latest/install/azure/azure-terraform.html).
