1. Overview Project EnvFest is a cutting-edge [provide a brief description of your project]. The goal is to achieve a scalable, robust, and maintainable deployment setup for different environments, namely development (dev), testing (test), and production (prod).
2. Implementation Commands Used:

• Creating AKS Cluster: az aks create --resource-group <resource-group> --name <cluster-name> --node-count <node-count> --enable-addons monitoring --kubernetes-version <k8s-version> --generate-ssh-keys
• Checking AKS Nodes: kubectl get nodes
• Creating Deployments: kubectl apply -f dev/deployment.yaml
