Only partners that meet stringent criteria around customer success and staff skilling, as well as pass a third-party audit of their container-based workload deployment and management practices are able to earn the Kubernetes on Azure advanced specialization.

Microsoft's Azure Kubernetes Service is a leading offering in that category and this advanced specialization recognizes our capabilities in the area. Our expertise in delivering AKS along with devNXT, our modernization platform, has helped multiple global customers adopt their Cloud modernization journey at a faster pace,' said Arun Melkote, Vice President & Practice Head,App Engineering and Modernization, iDEAS, Wipro Limited.
