Thanks for checking out the guide! 🚀

For teams migrating from Docker Swarm to AKS, the biggest operational shift is usually moving from basic overlay routing to managing Layer 7 ingress, TLS cert automation, and proper autoscaling thresholds.

A quick question for the community: What has been your biggest bottleneck when moving workloads from Swarm/Compose to managed Kubernetes—networking, state management, or CI/CD integration?

The full infrastructure blueprints and companion DevOps guides are also available over on DevStackHub.
