Slash Your AKS Costs: Run Resilient Production Workloads on Azure Spot VMs

Azure Spot VMs offer up to 90% cost savings, but production adoption brings complex challenges beyond basic setup. This guide tackles the real problems teams face: automatic failover during spot evictions, intelligent failback when capacity returns, and seamless orchestration between spot and on-demand resources. We'll explore how to combine AKS features, Kubernetes best practices, and tools like the descheduler to build a resilient system that maximizes cost savings without sacrificing reliability.
