Services
We're announcing public preview of an AKS managed add-on that simplifies the deployment and lifecycle management of Application Gateway for Containers and its ALB Controller. With the managed AKS add-on, you can enable Application Gateway for Containers with a single command for new or existing AKS clusters through Azure CLI, ARM, and Bicep.
The managed add-on helps streamline operations by providing:
* Managed installation and updates of the ALB Controller (so you don't need to maintain Helm charts)
* Secure integration via managed identity with least-privilege permissions
* Simplified networking when using AKS managed virtual network configuration
The add-on also integrates with AKS' managed Gateway API add-on for seamless management of Gateway API CRDs within your AKS cluster.
