Azure Service Operator - Provision Your Resources in a Cloud-Native Way
0 likes241 views
The Azure Service Operator (ASO) is an open-source project by Microsoft that enables provisioning of Azure resources and integration with applications from within Kubernetes. It uses custom resource definitions (CRDs) and a Kubernetes controller to create, update, or delete Azure resources. The document also discusses bundling applications with infrastructure and managing resources with GitOps, highlighting the use of tools like Argo CD and Flux CD.
