What is azure-kubernetes?

A guide for planning and configuring Azure Kubernetes Service, Microsoft's managed system for running containerized applications. It covers cluster choices, networking, security, scaling, upgrades, costs, and operations.

Use it to plan or create an AKS cluster, choose its networking and access model, configure identity and secrets, set up scaling and upgrades, and plan monitoring or governance.

It separates foundational choices that are difficult to change later from features that can be added after the cluster exists. This helps avoid unsuitable network, access, or capacity decisions.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00026	$0.02696
Opus 5	$0.00013	$0.01348
Sonnet 5	$0.00005	$0.00539
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00270

Security

Grade A, and why

azure-kubernetes 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 5d 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.

Azure Kubernetes Service

AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE — MANDATORY COMPLIANCE

This skill produces a recommended AKS cluster configuration based on user requirements, distinguishing Day-0 decisions (networking, API server — hard to change later) from Day-1 features (can enable post-creation). See CLI reference for commands.

Quick Reference

Property	Value
Best for	AKS cluster planning and Day-0 decisions
MCP Tools	`mcp_azure_mcp_aks`
CLI	`az aks create`, `az aks show`, `kubectl get`, `kubectl describe`
Related skills	azure-kubernetes-app-deploy (deploy an app to an existing cluster), azure-diagnostics (troubleshooting AKS), azure-validate (readiness checks), azure-kubernetes-automatic-readiness (migrate existing cluster to AKS Automatic)

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when user wants to:

Create a new AKS cluster
Plan AKS cluster configuration for production workloads
Design AKS networking (API server access, pod IP model, egress)
Set up AKS identity and secrets management
Configure AKS governance (Azure Policy, Deployment Safeguards)
Enable AKS observability (Container Insights, Managed Prometheus, Grafana)
Define AKS upgrade and patching strategy
Understand AKS Automatic vs Standard SKU differences
Get a Day-0 checklist for AKS cluster setup and configuration

Deploying an application to an existing cluster? This skill provisions and configures the cluster. To containerize an app and deploy it to a cluster that already exists (Dockerfile + manifests + Deployment Safeguards), use the azure-kubernetes-app-deploy sub-skill instead.

Rules

Start with the user's requirements for provisioning compute, networking, security, and other settings.
Use the azure MCP server and select mcp_azure_mcp_aks first to discover the exact AKS-specific MCP tools surfaced by the client. Choose the smallest discovered AKS tool that fits the task, and fall back to Azure CLI (az aks) only when the needed functionality is not exposed through the AKS MCP surface.
Determine if AKS Automatic or Standard SKU is more appropriate based on the user's need for control vs convenience. Default to AKS Automatic unless specific customizations are required.
Document decisions and rationale for cluster configuration choices, especially for Day-0 decisions that are hard to change later (networking, API server access).

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
