AKS support for 5K Node limit now available for Standard-tier clusters
The content states that AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) now supports cluster scale beyond the previous 1000 node limit in the Standard tier. Users can now scale their clusters up to a maximum of 5000 nodes without any need for limit increases or special enablement. This update allows both existing and new AKS clusters to have greater scalability and performance for the Kubernetes control plane, with a maximum of 100,000 pods per cluster. These improvements aim to enable users to run larger workloads, improve scaling performance, consolidate AKS clusters, and enhance control plane reliability at scale.
