Generally Available: Automated deployments in AKS now supports Azure DevOps (ADO), AKS-ready templates and service connectors

Automated deployments in AKS now supports the following features:

• Azure DevOps support: You can now easily generate Azure DevOps (ADO) pipelines to deploy your applications to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Automated deployments also helps you containerize your apps by generating Dockerfiles and Kubernetes manifests—streamlining your path to cloud-native development.  

• AKS-ready templates: You can now generate production-ready Kubernetes manifests out of the box — including deployment, service, ingress, configmap, and more. These new templates are built to help you deploy cloud-native applications faster and more securely by following Kubernetes and AKS best practices. They include: 

• Built-in Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) configs 
• Secure securityContext settings for container hardening 
• Fully templated readiness, liveness, and startup probes 
• Optional Ingress with managed TLS certificates via app routing 

• Service connector support: You can now use service connectors to connect your applications to popular Azure services such as Azure SQL Database, PostgreSQL, Cosmos DB, and more. This allows you to easily:  

• Provision secure bindings to Azure services 
• Automatically inject credentials into your application via Kubernetes secret objects — no manual setup needed
