AKS in Production: Networking, Isolation & Service Mesh

Production-grade AKS isn't about spinning up a cluster — it's about the decisions that come after. Networking topology, workload isolation, and traffic control each ripple into your security, scalability, cost, and operability. In this session, Senior Cloud & Cloud-native Architect and Microsoft MVP, Stéphane Eyskens, walks through how production AKS is actually designed, using real hub-and-spoke and Terraform deployment patterns. What you'll learn: Azure Kubernetes landing zones and how they fit the hub-and-spoke model Private clusters, egress control, and outbound patterns CNI plugins (Azure CNI vs. CNI Overlay), network policies, and service mesh Namespace isolation vs. node pool isolation Multi-tenant and blast-radius considerations East-west vs. north-south traffic patterns Cost implications across the whole architecture This episode is for engineers operating AKS in production, or preparing to. You'll come away with architectural clarity grounded in real deployment patterns — not a prescription, but the trade-offs that let you decide.
