Containers and microservices have transformed cloud application deployment, with Kubernetes emerging as the standard for container orchestration since its launch in 2014. This tutorial guides users through deploying a Node.js application on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) using a continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipeline facilitated by CircleCI orbs. It emphasizes automating the deployment process, ensuring the latest application version runs on the Kubernetes cluster after each code push to GitHub. Prerequisites include accounts on Docker Hub, GitHub, Microsoft Azure, and CircleCI, alongside installations of Docker Engine, Kubectl, Azure CLI, and Node.js. The tutorial details steps from cloning the application to containerizing it using Docker, configuring Kubernetes manifests, creating an AKS cluster, and setting up a CI/CD pipeline with CircleCI. It highlights the importance of configuring environment variables and user keys within CircleCI for successful pipeline execution, ultimately allowing seamless application deployment and updates on the AKS cluster, accessible via the external IP address of the service.
