Frequently asked questions
AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
Is my Kubernetes cluster ready for AKS Automatic?
azure-kubernetes-automatic-readiness evaluates your cluster against AKS Automatic's deployment safeguards, pod security standards, and cluster-level requirements. It performs live cluster assessment or offline manifest validation to identify incompatibilities, then provides targeted remediation guidance to help you determine readiness before migration.
How do I migrate AKS Standard to AKS Automatic?
azure-kubernetes-automatic-readiness identifies and fixes incompatibilities blocking your migration. It validates workloads against Automatic's constraints, detects pod security policy violations, and generates remediation steps with YAML diffs to make your deployments compatible before you transition from Standard to Automatic.
What incompatibilities block AKS Automatic migration?
azure-kubernetes-automatic-readiness identifies migration blockers by validating manifests against AKS Automatic's deployment safeguards and pod security standards. Common issues include unsupported pod configurations, cluster-level settings misalignment, and security constraint violations—the skill flags each and provides fixes.
Can I validate my manifests for AKS Automatic offline?
Yes. azure-kubernetes-automatic-readiness supports offline manifest validation against AKS Automatic deployment safeguards and pod security standards. Upload your YAML files to check compatibility without requiring live cluster access, then review the identified incompatibilities and remediation steps.
What cluster-level configuration does AKS Automatic require?
azure-kubernetes-automatic-readiness assesses cluster-level configuration requirements for AKS Automatic migration. It validates settings like networking, security policies, and resource constraints, then provides guidance on adjustments needed to align your cluster with Automatic's operational model.
How do I fix my workloads for AKS Automatic compatibility?
azure-kubernetes-automatic-readiness generates targeted remediation steps and YAML diffs to make workloads Automatic-compatible. After identifying incompatibilities in your deployments, it provides concrete fixes addressing pod security standards, safeguard violations, and cluster configuration gaps.
