The command "az aks" is a command-line interface (CLI) command provided by the Azure CLI tool, which is used for managing Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) resources.
AKS is a fully managed container orchestration service offered by Microsoft Azure, which simplifies the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications using Kubernetes. The "az aks" command allows you to perform various operations related to AKS, including creating and managing AKS clusters, scaling cluster nodes, upgrading Kubernetes versions, configuring authentication, managing roles and permissions, and more.
When using the "az aks" command, you typically provide additional arguments and subcommands to specify the specific operation you want to perform. For example, you might use "az aks create" to create a new AKS cluster, "az aks scale" to scale the number of nodes in a cluster, or "az aks upgrade" to upgrade the Kubernetes version of an existing cluster.
The command offers a range of options and parameters that enable you to customize the behavior and configuration of various AKS operations. You can access further information and usage examples through the Azure CLI documentation or by running "az aks --help" in a command prompt or terminal.
