Close your AKS performance gaps with our highly-acclaimed Microsoft AKS Open Source Accelerator
Based on a partnership between Microsoft Azure and Container Solutions, the Microsoft AKS Open Source Accelerator bridges serious AKS performance gaps in your setup to improve cost optimisation, performance, scalability, and security.
Absolutely. But while you don’t have to manage the infrastructure of the AKS cluster, you do have to manage the cost, performance, scalability, and security. This is where serious AKS performance gaps are born.
Especially when you don’t have the resources to manage the infrastructure, stability, and reliability at the same time as managing the workloads on top of these Kubernetes clusters. AKS offers great benefits. But are you using AKS as powerfully, efficiently, and usefully as possible? We want AKS to provide the best results for your team.
Most AKS consumers use it with default options and don’t get the most out of it, leaving their platform with serious AKS performance gaps.
There are many Open Source solutions to consider, and with tiny tweaks and config changes, you can immediately start benefiting more from your Microsft AKS clusters.
Start building a plan for the improvements on different areas that found missing in the environment:
Security
