What it does
Apex Azure Kubernetes is an agent skill from jonathan-vella/apex. ANALYSIS SKILL — Day-0 AKS design advice: Automatic vs Standard, networking, identity, observability, upgrades, node pools, autoscaling and Spot. WHEN: "design AKS", "AKS Automatic or Standard", "AKS networking", "AKS node pools", "rightsize AKS pods", "AKS spot nodes". DO NOT USE FOR: AKS troubleshooting (apex-azure-diagnostics), provisioning or IaC (05-IaC Planner, 06b/06t).
Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `references/azure-aks-autoscaler.md`, `references/azure-aks-rightsizing.md` and `references/azure-aks-spot.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Container orchestration, Infrastructure as code and Observability. It works with Microsoft Azure and Kubernetes. The repository describes itself as: APEX turns Azure platform engineering requirements into verified, deploy-ready IaC — powered by GitHub Copilot agents, real-time pricing, and built-in compliance. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- : AKS troubleshooting (apex-azure-diagnostics)
- IaC (05-IaC Planner
Example prompts
- “design AKS”
- “AKS Automatic or Standard”
- “AKS networking”
- “/apex-azure-kubernetes”
Workflow steps
9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b8e5908. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
az
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
learn.microsoft.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Apex Azure Kubernetes loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 821 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Azure Kubernetes Service Design
Adapted from upstream azure-kubernetes. This skill recommends an AKS
configuration and separates Day-0 decisions (networking, API server access,
identity — hard to change later) from Day-1 features that can be enabled
after creation. It advises; it never creates or changes a cluster.
Quick Reference
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Best for | AKS cluster planning and Day-0 decisions in Steps 2 and 4 |
| MCP tools | mcp_azure-mcp_aks (read-only discovery of existing clusters) |
| Implementation | AVM avm/res/container-service/managed-cluster (Bicep) or Azure/avm-res-containerservice-managedcluster/azurerm (Terraform) through 06b/06t |
| Related skills | apex-azure-diagnostics (troubleshooting), apex-azure-quotas (node SKU availability and quota), apex-azure-defaults (naming, regions, AVM) |
Rules
- Start from the user's requirements; ask only for missing Day-0 inputs.
- Default to AKS Automatic unless a requirement needs Standard (custom node pools, networking or autoscaling that Node Auto-Provisioning doesn't support). Confirm the chosen features are exposed by the AVM module before recommending them.
- Record each Day-0 decision with its rationale; they are expensive to change after creation.
- Apply the APEX baseline: private API server access (API Server VNet Integration or a private cluster) for
production, Microsoft Entra ID authentication with local accounts disabled, Workload Identity for pods, and
the default region from
apex-azure-defaultswith availability zones. - Confirm node VM sizes with the
apex-azure-quotasSKU availability check. Price only throughcost-estimate-subagent; don't quote discounts or savings percentages. - Never run
az aksorkubectlcommands that change state. Hand the configuration to 05-IaC Planner and 06b/06t; existing-cluster changes need an approved change owner.
Required Inputs
Use safe defaults when the user is unsure.
- Environment type (dev/test or production), region and zones
- Expected scale (nodes, clusters, workload size) and preferred node VM sizes
- Networking: API server access, pod IP model, ingress and egress control
- Security and identity, including the image registry
- Upgrade and observability preferences, and cost constraints
Design Checklist
1. Cluster Type
- AKS Automatic (default): curated security, reliability and performance defaults for most production workloads.
- AKS Standard: full control of node pools, networking and autoscaling at the cost of more operations work.
2. Networking (Day-0)
- Pod IP model: Azure CNI Overlay (recommended; pod IPs from a private overlay range) or Azure CNI with VNet-routable pod IPs when pods must be addressable from the VNet or on-premises. See Azure CNI Overlay.
- Dataplane and network policy: Azure CNI powered by Cilium.
- Egress: Static Egress Gateway for stable outbound IPs; UDR with Azure Firewall or an NVA for restricted egress.
- Ingress: App Routing add-on with Gateway API by default; Istio with Gateway API for mTLS and canary releases; Application Gateway for Containers for L7 load balancing with WAF.
- DNS: enable LocalDNS on all node pools.
3. Security
- Microsoft Entra ID everywhere (control plane, Workload Identity for pods, node access); no static credentials. See workload identity.
- Azure Key Vault through the Secrets Store CSI Driver.
- Azure Policy with Deployment Safeguards.
- Encryption at rest and in transit; only signed, policy-approved images, preferably from Azure Container Registry.
- Isolate with namespaces, network policies and scoped logging.
Show full SKILL.md (333 more words)Show less
4. Observability
- Managed Prometheus, Container Insights and Grafana for metrics and logs.
- Diagnostic settings sending control plane and audit logs to Log Analytics.
5. Upgrades and Patching
- Maintenance windows, and auto-upgrade for the control plane and node OS.
- LTS versions (Premium tier) for enterprise stability; AKS Fleet Manager for staged rollouts across environments.
6. Performance
- Ephemeral OS disks, Azure Linux node OS, and KEDA for event-driven autoscaling beyond HPA.
7. Node Pools and Compute
- A dedicated system node pool of at least 2 nodes, tainted
CriticalAddonsOnly. - Node Auto-Provisioning where supported; latest-generation VM sizes with at least 4 vCPUs for production.
- Avoid B-series (burstable) VMs; spread pods across hosts and zones with topology spread constraints.
8. Reliability
- Three availability zones, the Standard tier (zone-redundant control plane with an SLA), PodDisruptionBudgets for production workloads, and Microsoft Defender for Containers.
9. Cost
- Spot node pools only for interruptible workloads; stop dev/test clusters outside working hours through an approved operational runbook; consider reservations or savings plans for steady-state capacity.
Deep-Dive Scenarios
Load only the reference that matches the request; if a prompt matches several, ask which one the user means.
| Scenario | Trigger keywords | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Pod rightsizing | over-provisioned pods, CPU or memory requests | azure-aks-rightsizing.md |
| VPA | vertical pod autoscaler, VPA recommendations | azure-aks-vpa.md |
| Cluster autoscaler | idle nodes, scale-down profile, node utilization | azure-aks-autoscaler.md |
| Spot node pools | Spot VMs, batch workloads, cheaper nodes | azure-aks-spot.md |
Guardrails
- Don't request or output secrets, tokens or keys, and don't ask the user to paste subscription IDs; discover
scope with
mcp_azure-mcp_subscription_listoraz account show. - For ambiguous Day-0 requirements, ask. For Day-1 features, offer two or three safe options with trade-offs.
- Don't promise zero downtime; recommend PodDisruptionBudgets, probes, replicas and staged upgrades.
- Inspect existing clusters only with the read-only commands in the CLI reference.
