Microsoft has been recognized as a Leader in the 2023 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Container Management, highlighting their end-to-end approach for developing and deploying cloud-native apps on Azure.
This recognition validates Microsoft’s integration of Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) with other Azure services, enabling customers to modernize existing apps and develop new ones with scale, security, performance, and cost optimization.
AKS supports hybrid configurations with Azure Stack HCI and Azure Arc, allowing customers to run containers anywhere.
Microsoft also introduced Microsoft Copilot for Azure, an AI-powered assistant to help developers work more efficiently with AKS. Additionally, Microsoft continues to innovate with AKS to support AI applications, improve cost management, and enhance security, making it easier for developers to adopt Kubernetes and build intelligent apps.
