On the 29th I took part in an amazing live stream from Microsoft Reactor with the great [Caio Calado](https://www.linkedin.com/in/caiocaladoo/) as host!

In this live we did a hands-on workshop on how we can create a cluster in [Azure Kubernetes Service](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/aks/?WT.mc_id=blog-personal-ludossan) and leverage the power of Virtual Nodes to have infinite scalability. That's our first demo.

Then we moved on to practically creating a GitHub repository to use GitHub Actions so we could create and deploy complete applications to [AKS](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/aks/?WT.mc_id=blog-personal-ludossan) without even touching them.

You can find all this for free in the video below!
