Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

aks-automatic-2025 scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AKS Automatic - 2025 GA Features

Complete knowledge base for Azure Kubernetes Service Automatic mode (GA October 2025).

Overview

AKS Automatic is a fully-managed Kubernetes offering that eliminates operational overhead through intelligent automation and built-in best practices.

Key Features (GA October 2025)

1. Zero Operational Overhead

  • Fully-managed control plane and worker nodes
  • Automatic OS patching and security updates
  • Built-in monitoring and diagnostics
  • Integrated security and compliance

2. Karpenter Integration

  • Dynamic node provisioning based on real-time demand
  • Intelligent bin-packing for cost optimization
  • Automatic node consolidation and deprovisioning
  • Support for multiple node pools and instance types

3. Auto-Scaling (Enabled by Default)

  • Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA): Scale pods based on CPU/memory
  • Vertical Pod Autoscaler (VPA): Adjust pod resource requests/limits
  • KEDA: Event-driven autoscaling for external triggers

4. Enhanced Security

  • Microsoft Entra ID integration for authentication
  • Azure RBAC for Kubernetes authorization
  • Network policies enabled by default
  • Automatic security patches
  • Workload identity for pod-level authentication

5. Advanced Networking

  • Azure CNI Overlay for efficient IP usage
  • Cilium dataplane for high-performance networking
  • Network policies for microsegmentation
  • Private clusters supported

6. New Billing Model (Effective October 19, 2025)

  • Hosted control plane fee: $0.16/cluster/hour
  • Compute charges based on actual node usage
  • No separate cluster management fee
  • Cost savings from Karpenter optimization

7. Node Operating System

  • Ubuntu 22.04 for Kubernetes < 1.34
  • Ubuntu 24.04 for Kubernetes >= 1.34
  • Automatic OS upgrades with node image channel

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
