Azure Kubernetes
This is Microsoft's production-grade AKS provisioning guide packaged as a skill. It walks you through Day-0 decisions that are hard to change later (networking model, API server access, SKU choice) versus Day-1 features you can enable anytime. The skill defaults to AKS Automatic unless you need specific customizations, recommends Azure CNI Overlay for pod IPs, and pushes Cilium for the dataplane. It covers the full checklist: identity with Entra ID, observability with Managed Prometheus, maintenance windows, and cost controls like spot nodes. Use this when you're spinning up a new cluster and want opinionated guidance that aligns with Microsoft's current best practices rather than figuring out 50 configuration flags yourself.

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.
