Can SharePoint 2016 Farm be provisioned on a Kubernetes cluster or using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)?

9/27/2018

I am just shifting to container Orchestration and would like to know if a mid size SharePoint 2016 farm can be provisioned inside a highly available container orchestration platform called Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Can we use Kubernetes cluster instead of VMs created on latest Windows Server 2016/2012 to provision SharePoint Farm? Since SharePoint is a highly resource consuming server application, scaling decision is a key to keep the Prod farm up and running within the containers. Containers are a better solution than highly scaled VMs but will it work for SharePoint? Please provide any pointers if anyone could.

Regards, Manish
