Beyond AKS: Exploring Alternative Container Hosting in Azure


While Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a popular choice for container orchestration, it's not always the best fit for every workload. Azure offers a range of alternative container hosting solutions, from serverless containers to batch processing and hybrid deployments. In this session, we’ll explore the lesser-known options for running containers in Azure, discussing trade-offs, cost efficiency, and scalability to help you choose the right approach for your needs.
