## Azure Container Service
|
|
|
|
The [Azure Container Service](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/container-service/) offers simple
|
|
deployments of one of three open source orchestrators: DC/OS, Swarm, and Kubernetes clusters.
|
|
|
|
For an example of deploying a Kubernetes cluster onto Azure via the Azure Container Service:
|
|
|
|
**[Microsoft Azure Container Service - Kubernetes Walkthrough](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-service/container-service-kubernetes-walkthrough)**
|
|
|
|
## Custom Deployments: ACS-Engine
|
|
|
|
The core of the Azure Container Service is **open source** and available on GitHub for the community
|
|
to use and contribute to: **[ACS-Engine](https://github.com/Azure/acs-engine)**.
|
|
|
|
ACS-Engine is a good choice if you need to make customizations to the deployment beyond what the Azure Container
|
|
Service officially supports. These customizations include deploying into existing virtual networks, utilizing multiple
|
|
agent pools, and more. Some community contributions to ACS-Engine may even become features of the Azure Container Service.
|
|
|
|
The input to ACS-Engine is similar to the ARM template syntax used to deploy a cluster directly with the Azure Container Service.
|
|
The resulting output is an Azure Resource Manager Template that can then be checked into source control and can then be used
|
|
to deploy Kubernetes clusters into Azure.
|
|
|
|
You can get started quickly by following the **[ACS-Engine Kubernetes Walkthrough](https://github.com/Azure/acs-engine/blob/master/docs/kubernetes.md)**.

## CoreOS Tectonic for Azure
|
|
|
|
The CoreOS Tectonic Installer for Azure is **open source** and available on GitHub for the community to use and contribute to: **[Tectonic Installer](https://github.com/coreos/tectonic-installer)**.
|
|
|
|
Tectonic Installer is a good choice when you need to make cluster customizations as it is built on [Hashicorp's Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/azurerm/) Azure Resource Manager (ARM) provider. This enables users to customize or integrate using familiar Terraform tooling.
|
|
|
|
You can get started using the [Tectonic Installer for Azure Guide](https://coreos.com/tectonic/docs/latest/install/azure/azure-terraform.html).
