    **What is Kubernetes services?**\ \ Kubernetes Services are abstractions that define a logical set of pods and a policy for accessing them. They enable communication between different components of a Kubernetes application, such as between pods or between external clients and pods, by providing stable IP addresses and DNS names. Types of services include ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer, and ExternalName.

    **What is Node in AKS?**\ \ In Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), a node is a virtual machine that runs the Kubernetes node component and is responsible for running containerized applications. Nodes in AKS form the underlying infrastructure where the Kubernetes workloads are deployed and managed. Each node is part of a node pool within the AKS cluster.

    information ordinal icon
    **What is Kubernetes RBAC?**\ \ Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a security mechanism that regulates access to Kubernetes resources based on user roles. It allows administrators to define who can perform what actions on specific resources within the cluster, using roles and role bindings to enforce permissions.

    To create **Service Fabric cluster,** type **Service Fabric clusters** in the search bar and click on the **Service Fabric clusters**
    information ordinal icon
    **What are Service Fabric clusters?**\ \ Service Fabric clusters are collections of virtual or physical machines managed by Azure Service Fabric that facilitate the deployment, management, and scaling of microservices and containerized applications. They ensure high availability, fault tolerance, and efficient orchestration for complex, scalable, and reliable applications.
