Azure Custom Vision AI : From training to deploying the container export on the Azure Kuberenetes Service (AKS)

Introduction

Todays post will be the backend tour of “Frietjes-of-Niet” (translated from Dutch : “French-Frites-or-Not?”). A big part of the mission of Azure is about democratizing technology so it becomes accessible to organizations in order for them to achieve more. AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a key part of that vision.

 

End-to-End Flow

What will be the flow for today?

• We’ll train a model to recognize fries
• Next we’ll be exporting that model to be used as a container
• Afterwards we’ll build that container
• To end with deploying (and testing) it onto AKS

Sound cool? Let’s get to it..

Taking a glance at Rancher’s ability to manage the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Introduction

Pfew, it’s odd to admit that it has been a while since I’ve posted about Rancher. Though today is as good a day as any to pick up that thread… So today we’ll go through give or take the same objective as in the past, where we’ll notice that the integration has improved significantly with the arrival of AKS! Let’s get today’s post underway and deploy AKS from our Rancher control plane.

Preparation

Before the below started, I already had the following things ready ;

• A service principal with appropriate rights
• Installed Rancher 2.0
