Important
Starting on 30 November 2025, AKS will no longer support or provide security updates for Azure Linux 2.0. Starting on 31 March 2026, node images will be removed, and you'll be unable to scale your node pools. Migrate to a supported Azure Linux version by upgrading your node pools to a supported Kubernetes version or migrating to osSku AzureLinux3. For more information, see [Retirement] Azure Linux 2.0 node pools on AKS.
