No new clusters can be created with Azure AD Integration (legacy). Existing AKS clusters with Azure Active Directory integration will keep working. All Azure AD Integration (legacy) AKS clusters will be migrated to AKS-managed Azure AD automatically starting from 1st Dec. 2023. We recommend updating your cluster with AKS-managed Azure AD before 1 Dec 2023. This way you can manage the API server downtime during non-business hours.

Features
