## What it is
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is Microsoft's managed Kubernetes offering on Azure. This repository serves as the public issue tracker and community engagement hub for the AKS product team, plus an engineering blog site, rather than the service's source code.

## Use cases
- file bug reports against azure kubernetes service
- request features for aks clusters
- get help with kubernetes node auto-provisioning on azure
- run managed kubernetes clusters in azure
- serve llm inference on gpu nodes in aks
- track aks release notes and roadmap

## When to choose
- you run Kubernetes workloads on Azure and want a managed control plane
- you need to report reproducible AKS bugs or request features to the product team
- you want Azure-integrated Kubernetes with autoscaling and GPU support

## When to avoid
- you need urgent support with SLAs - use official Azure support channels instead
- you want the source code of AKS itself - this repo is issue tracking, not the implementation
- you use AKS-Engine, Virtual Kubelet, or ACI - file issues in their own repos
