Announced: June 28, 2017
On June 28, 2017, the Azure Container Service team released a new version of the
service as public preview in the UK region. This is available in the ukwest
and uksouth regions. The new service is based on the open-source heart of
ACS: ACS-Engine. As part of this new
release, a new preview header version 2017-07-01 is now available.
The new header version 2017-07-01 exposes the following new preview features:
- Simple Clusters - Deploy a standard cluster
- Large Clusters - Supports multiple worker pools
- Storage via Managed Disks - Support for storing OS disks in Azure's new Managed Disk feature (see #3)
- Storage via Storage Accounts - Support for storing OS disks in Azure's classic Storage Accounts
- Configurable Master Size - User control over Master VM SKU/size
- Configurable OS Disk Size - User control over Master VM OS Disk size
- Configurable Network Ports - User control over additional network ports
- Bring your own VNET - User control of the network the cluster is deployed into
- Windows - Support for deploying Windows clusters
You may wish to start with the documentation index page which contains instructions for deploying via Azure CLI. Additionally, each extended feature page should contain a link to deploy via the Portal.
And don't forget, these new features only work in ukwest and uksouth,
for now.
