Deploy Sock Shop demo to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

This sample workflow deploys the Weavework's Sock Shop demo to the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). The workflow first provisions a Azure Resource Group, then deploys an AKS cluster into the Resource Group. Next, the workflow creates a namespace on top of the AKS cluster and then deploys the Sock Shop demo into it. Finally, the workflow provides a Slack notification and then outputs the URL of the Sock Shop demo.
