Hello everybody.

My team has multiple applications that are running on:

• Cloud Services Web Roles + Worker Roles (ASP.NET) (6 VMs for production, 2 VMs preproduction, all ExtraSmall or Small)
• Azure Web Apps (ASP.NET Core) (2 apps having 5 staging slots in total)

We will probably develop 2 more ASP.NET Core applications in the following months that will probably hosted as Web Apps also (we will have to scale the App Service Plan).

I'm interested in saving some money and have a better management on all those applications. I'm thinking it would be a good idea to host them into an AKS node. The applications already hosted are consuming a small amount of CPU/Memory (only one Worker Role is making an exception because it processes pretty heavy at some specific hours).

Microsoft recommends to move Worker Roles to Service Fabric. I've tried Service Fabric before and I do not think this will be an option for our team.

Did anyone convert the Worker Roles into something else? If so, how did it go? Can you share your experiences?

Do you think using AKS is a good choice to save some money in the described case?
