With NGINX Ingress retirement hitting next month, a lot of people are asking: "What's next?" 🤔
I have been recommending Envoy Gateway, so thought I'd better spend some time documenting what actually works on AKS.

AKS Automatic just got more flexible 🚀
Deployment Safeguards will no longer deny workloads missing startup, liveness, or readiness probes. They now warn instead.
This makes it much easier to deploy third-party Helm charts without extensive modification

Flatcar Container Linux on #AzureKubernetesService: First Look by Richard Hooper pixelrobots.co.uk/2025/11/flat...
I've been tracking Flatcar for a few years and it's fantastic that it's*finally* supported on AKS. Great article by @pixelrobots.co.uk
I did not. I might have to look at that.
Yes it is! It should also be the font on my blog. I just had to use it.
📚 Working on something new: "The AKS Book: The Real-World Guide to Azure Kubernetes Service"
A practical guide covering everything from cluster setup decisions to production war stories. No fluff, just the lessons learned from running AKS in the real world.
What do you think of the cover? 👇
Looks like the new Kubernetes Center is available in the preview portal.

Some multi-tenant security updates.
Managed namespaces going GA super quick!
Security updates for networking too. AGC WAF going GA is awesome!
Even workload security has been updated. Identity bindings is super cool. And now ABAC support for ACR is a game changer! And deployment safeguard has gone GA.
Some nice updates for control plane security. I love the external id for control plane access.
We now have better component insights.
We now have better component insights.
It is now official. Configurable scheduler profiles.
Coming soon. Deploy and test AI models using Kaito and AKS.
Azure Files CSI driver has multichannel support now in public preview.
Now it's time for storage to get the spotlight.
Now Application Gateway For Container (AGC) is getting some love!
Now networking is getting some love. But you do need ACNS. But basically bypasses IP tables and more.
AKS 1.34 supports DRA (Dynamic resource allocation) and MIG (multi-instance GPUs)
AMD and Nvidia GPU support now in AKS as a managed GPU offering.
It's AI time. AKS is a good place to run your AI workloads and models.
Agentic CLI for AKS has gone public preview. This is such a powerful tool! And uses Holmes GPT from Robusta. You should use it.
Container network logs got some love too.
