Every one of these videos makes me better at my job. Cheers John!

Awesome to hear, thank you

Totally Agree. Everyday morning 15min of John's video is like a brain fertilizer. Learn something new from him everyday!!

@@iamdedlok John is one of the best teachers out there in my opinion. If I'm struggling with something I can always find a video where he explains it in a way that makes sense to me. His courses on Pluralsight are great too.

I started using AKS and it's a great tip!

[@allthebeesaredead188]

I have canary aks clusters that I spin up and teardown with Terraform to dry run changes. I guess now I could automate stopping the test cluster when I finish with it instead.

Good talk as always. Can you do one on the various ways of updating Node Pools in Azure and the new RBAC/AAD integration with K8S's RBAC? Thanks

[@niraj7616]

Excellent as always 👌😃, will there be any deep dives in the near future

[@NTFAQGuy]

Yes, soon

[@ravilobo7977]

Thank you so much. This is very useful.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Glad it was helpful!

This feature is awesome. Good one John! Just wonder that based on Microsoft Official document it says "allowing you to save on all the compute costs", is there any other charge may incur which caused by something like storage cost? Thanks

[@NTFAQGuy]

if you had persistent storage then you may not want to lose that so that would depend on how you configure that.

[@wolkwijs324]

Again a great vid about aks! If you can find some time, could you make a deepdive on api(m) and aks?

[@theudayakiranvlogs]

Hey thank you very much. Very useful as always. QQ: What is the benefit of having minimum nodes in the user node pool anything other than 0 or 1. Is it because it could take time to kick off the node to scale it ? If yes, how much time would it generally take to get a new pod up and running ?

[@NTFAQGuy]

Right, depending on resiliency requirements you still may always want minimum number of nodes like 2 to be spread over AZs for example plus you have to consider if nodes are updated etc.

Brilliant explanation as always 💪 an ocean of thanks

[@NTFAQGuy]

Thanks!
