Modernizing with containers and serverless Q&A
summary
Recent concrete updates: AKS adds managed Prometheus, workload identity GA, Azure CNI overlay and a Kubernetes app marketplace plus Fleet Manager update‑groups and breaking‑change validation (blocks upgrades using deprecated APIs); Azure Linux (rebrand) hits GA and Confidential containers arrive to protect compute without app changes. Azure Functions ships Durable improvements (NetIsolated, managed identity), target‑based scaling, a Python v2 programming model, Netherite backend for high‑throughput Durable, SQL bindings and the ability to run Functions as cloud‑native microservices in Container Apps. Container Apps adds jobs, service add‑ons, Azure Service Connector + Dapr component auto‑creation, workload profiles (consumption + dedicated), managed TLS, CI/CD and finer ingress controls.
