Comprehensive ecosystem enhances development and cost management capabilities
The CI/CD capabilities are important because we do development. We use both development and production on Microsoft Azure. The CI/CD capabilities help in the development process. For the technical side, I would need to get back to some of my programmers, but we use the complete Microsoft Azure side for all of our development work. The CI/CD helps in the complete process for our team. As we move into the use of Microsoft Azure Container Service, it will make us more flexible and probably reduce our costs down the line. They can probably handle peak traffic and other things better than the older way of doing it. Microsoft Azure Container Service helps to optimize resources and save costs by allowing our product to handle it through this containerization method. When there is not too much traffic, we will be able to bring it down to the minimum, which would give us good cost savings. For our usage of Microsoft Azure Container Service, it is already helping us. For improvements, I don't have any recommendations currently because we have just gotten into it. What is available is good for the work we do. Regarding monitoring tools in AKS, we use them and understand how the environments are working through the tools. We use those for analytics and scaling of the environments. They help us in all our environments, and we can look into them. As required, we can downscale, upscale, and perform other operations because of the available tools.
