Azure Aks Is Now Available in Open Beta!
What's AKS?
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is Microsoft Azure’s managed Kubernetes offering. It allows you to run containerized applications in production without the overhead of manually configuring and operating Kubernetes clusters.
Why AKS?
From day one, Qovery’s mission has been to simplify Kubernetes operations and deployment across cloud providers, thanks to our Managed offer. After solidifying our support for AWS EKS and Google GKE, Azure AKS was the natural next step and one of the most requested features from our community.
Moreover, Microsoft Azure is the second most widely used public cloud provider in the world, holding around 22% of the global market share as of Q1 2025, the demand is clear.
What’s the difference with Qovery?
Here’s what the cluster management experience looks like with and without Qovery:
Without Qovery:
- You manually handle Kubernetes configuration, upgrades, and scaling
- You’re responsible for networking, secret management, and security policies
- Compliance (like SOC 2 or HIPAA) must be built and maintained on your own
- No native multi-cloud coordination across AWS, GCP, and Azure
- No advanced autoscaler (Karpenter)
With Qovery:
- No Kubernetes expertise needed
- Get fully managed cluster operations, including automated upgrades
- Enjoy sensible defaults and built-in automation for configuration, networking, and secrets
- Built-in high availability with multi-zone AKS cluster support
- Stay secure with automatic secret and credential rotation
- Manage your infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure in one unified platform
- Compliance SOC2 HIPAA (Coming soon)
- Advanced autoscaler Karpenter (Coming soon)
Whether you're scaling your company or launching new projects, Qovery gives you full control over your applications, while automating the heavy lifting of infrastructure and Kubernetes management so you can move faster, with confidence.
“We have all the flexibility of Kubernetes while keeping it simple. It’s a 100% gain”Jean-Baptiste Barth, Infrastructure Lead at Alan.
And this is just the foundation. With Qovery, you’re not just getting fully managed clusters, you’re getting a streamlined, opinionated platform that connects infrastructure management with CI/CD, observability, and cost optimisation. From provisioning to deployment and scaling, Qovery simplifies every layer of the DevOps stack so your team can focus on shipping, not babysitting infrastructure.
