Deploying .NET 5 Microservices to AKS with Terraform and Helm

This will be a technical demonstration of deploying .NET 5 Microservices to Azure Kubernetes Service with Terraform and Helm. It is aimed at developers that want to learn more about deploying .NET microservices to Containers and Kubernetes.

This will be a technical demonstration of deploying .NET 5 Microservices to Azure Kubernetes Service with Terraform and Helm. It is aimed at developers that want to learn more about deploying .NET microservices to Containers and Kubernetes.

What we will cover:

• Deploy AKS (Azure Kubernetes Services) with Terraform
• Create .NET 5 API with Dockerfile and push to ACR (Azure Container Registry)
• Deploy Microservice (API) to AKS using Helm
• Hit the API using Postman

Our original Kubernetes tool list was so popular that we've curated another great list of tools to help you improve your functionality with the platform.

You have to write a detailed YAML file to deploy resources like pods, deployments, and services on Kubernetes that’s where Helm comes into the play. Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes; it’s the yum and apt of Kubernetes. It allows us to deploy resources to Kubernetes quickly. It deploys charts which are the packages of application. Helm is also an official Kubernetes project in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) under the category of incubating projects.

A comparative study of Kubernetes resource management using helm and terraform, where features and limitations of both tools are discussed.

Microservices empower developers to rapidly build applications that are easy to deploy, monitor, and configure remotely. Let's look at the best practices for containerizing a microservice (in our model, we use Spring Boot applications) using the Docker image in K8s utilizing Helm charts.

This article will guide you about how to migrate helm v2 to helm v3 along with currently running resources in the environment.  In my previous article we have seen how to install helm version 2. Now in this article we are going to migrate currently running helm v2 configuration and its running resources to helm v3. To perform migration of helm v2 to helm v3 we are going to install plugin called 2to3 in the helm3.
