AKS Engine is an ARM template-driven way to provision a self-managed Kubernetes cluster on Azure. By leveraging ARM (Azure Resource Manager), AKS Engine helps you create, destroy and maintain clusters provisioned with basic IaaS resources in Azure. AKS Engine has limited support for ongoing operational capabilities such as scaling, in-place upgrades, and extensions. The Cluster API Provider for Azure a.k.a. CAPZ provides more complete operational capabilities. AKS Engine remains the tool for managing Kubernetes clusters on Azure Stack Hub as CAPZ does not yet work there. Read the CLI Overview for a list of features provided by the aks-engine command-line tool. The Quickstart Guide describes how to download the latest release of aks-engine for your environment, and demonstrates how to use aks-engine to create a Kubernetes cluster on Azure that you will manage and customize.
