Deploying Applications in Kubernetes - Windows Edition!

on YouTube ↗46m

" summary

Builds IIS Windows containers on AKS, pushes to Azure Container Registry, and runs into real limits: a 6.16 GB image that takes about a 90 second pull per node, Docker build times of ~2.5 minutes, and a VB.NET app that warms in ~20 seconds. Uses node pools with Windows nodes, startup probe + readiness probe to avoid downtime during rollouts, and shows a .NET Core rebuild that drops cold start to ~2–3 seconds, proving the mitigations actually work.
