Using Azure Kubernetes Services for Big Data Clusters

Mohammad Darab explains why it’s a good idea to use Azure Kubernetes Service when building out a Big Data Cluster:

According to the Microsoft documentation, there are three ways to deploy a Big Data Cluster:

1. Minikube
2. Kubeadm
3. AKS

I’ll go into each and list the pros and cons.

Of course, if you have a great Kubernetes admin, on-prem is certainly a viable option, but AKS is definitely easier to get started with.
