Azure Rosenheim Meetup: Azure Service Operator
The Azure Service Operator (ASO) is an open-source project by Microsoft that enables provisioning of Azure resources and connecting applications from within Kubernetes. It uses custom resource definitions and a Kubernetes controller for managing resources and supports the GitOps methodology for infrastructure management. The presentation outlines ASO's functionality, installation requirements, and demonstrates how to bundle applications with their infrastructure.
