# Azure Container Service

## Overview{% #overview %}

Azure Kubernetes Service allows you to quickly deploy a production-ready Kubernetes cluster.

Use the Datadog Azure integration to collect metrics from Azure Kubernetes Service.

## Setup{% #setup %}

### Installation{% #installation %}

If you haven't already, set up the [Microsoft Azure integration](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/azure.md) first. There are no other installation steps.

## Data Collected{% #data-collected %}

### Metrics{% #metrics %}
