Last
year Microsoft announced the release of Kubernetes apps in
Microsoft Cloud Marketplace, to provide users with a seamless deployment
experience by enabling easy one-click deployments to Microsoft Azure Kubernetes
Services (AKS) clusters.
Bitnami has been publishing
Kubernetes solutions as Helm Charts in Azure Marketplace for years now. Today,
we are happy to announce that we are adopting the new Azure Marketplace
Kubernetes apps format to provide a click-through deployment experience into Azure
Kubernetes Service from Azure Marketplace.
Enhanced user experience with Azure
Marketplace and Kubernetes Applications
Azure
Marketplace Kubernetes apps are Helm chart-based solution packages which
include the cluster and UI definitions along with the Helm chart and the
corresponding containers.
Previously,
with Helm Charts in Azure Marketplace, users needed to perform the several
steps involved in provisioning the cluster and deploying the applications
manually, by themselves. Now, with Azure Marketplace Kubernetes apps, you get
an out-of-the-box experience. Not only can you configure your cluster details
but also all the application parameters are accessible for you to customize
your deployment.
Take
a look at our documentation to learn how to get your
favorite application up and running in Azure Kubernetes Service in three steps:
- Configure your project
(resources, option to launch a new cluster, etc)
- Configure you cluster (size,
autoscaling, number of nodes)
- Configure and launch your
application!
Bitnami Kubernetes Applications in
Azure Marketplace
Bitnami has already published a few solutions
as Azure Marketplace Kubernetes Applications which can be found here.
As
we continue working with the Azure team to migrate more solutions to the new
format and enable you to enjoy the recommended and enhanced experience that the
new format offers, we will be removing our listings for container images and
Helm charts from Azure Marketplace. Please note that this doesn’t prevent you
from continuing deploying standalone Bitnami Helm Charts on AKS if that is your
preference.

updates on which applications are migrated next!
