Hi Team,

We are having 7 azure app services currently to consume 7 kafka topics, and it altogether give me round 3-4 billion records on the daily basis. We are suggested to check Azure Kubernetes Service to utilize the architecture in a better way. But for that, we are trying to understand the comparison between both the Azure App Services and Azure Kubernetes Service. Can anyone help us analyse the comparison in terms of both the cost and functionality.

    Hi

    In my oppinion, App Services is optimized for front end apps: built in load balancer or multi region failover and AKS in optimized for micro services. Below link will provide a comparison for each functionality:

    Regarding costs, I think AKS is more transparent as you will pay only for the servers and disks that hosts the containers.

    Hope this helps!
