Virtual Machines node pools support in AKS is now generally
available. With Virtual Machines node pools, Azure Kubernetes Services directly
manages the provisioning and bootstrapping of every single node.
When deploying a workload onto Azure Kubernetes Services
(AKS), each node pool typically can only contain one virtual machine (VM) type
or SKU. Virtual Machines node pools allow the capability to add multiple VM
SKUs of a similar family to a single node pool.
Virtual Machines node pools allow you to specify a family
of SKUs for a node pool without the need to maintain one node pool per SKU
type, reducing the node pool footprint.
