-Use Meshery's CLI to automatically prepare your connection to your AKS cluster. Configure Meshery to connect to your AKS cluster by executing:
+# In-cluster Installation
 
-{% capture code_content %}mesheryctl system config aks{% endcapture %}
-{% include code.html code=code_content %}
-
-### [Optionally] Manually connect Meshery to your Azure Kubernetes Cluster
+Follow the steps below to install Meshery in your AKS cluster.
 
-Alternatively, you may execute the following steps to manually configure Meshery to connect to your AKS cluster.
+### Preflight Checks
 
-1. Install [Azure CLI(az)](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli), and login
-  to your azure account using _az login_.
+Read through the following considerations prior to deploying Meshery on AKS.
 
-2. After successfull login, identify the subscription with which your AKS is associated.
+### Preflight: Cluster Connectivity
 
+1. Verify you connection to an Azure Kubernetes Services Cluster using Azure CLI.
+1. Login to Azure account using [az login](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/authenticate-azure-cli).
+1. After a successful login, identify the subscription associated with your AKS cluster:
 {% capture code_content %}az account set --subscription [SUBSCRIPTION_ID]{% endcapture %}
 {% include code.html code=code_content %}
-<br />
-
-3. Get the `kubeconfig` from your AKS cluster
-
+1. After setting the subscription, set the cluster context.
 {% capture code_content %}az aks get-credentials --resource-group [RESOURCE_GROUP] --name [AKS_SERVICE_NAME]{% endcapture %}
 {% include code.html code=code_content %}
-<br />
 
-4. Set your cluster context and check your cluster-info
-{% capture code_content %}kubectl config set-context AKS_SERVICE_NAME
-kubectl cluster-info{% endcapture %}
+### Preflight: Plan your access to Meshery UI
+
+1. If you are using port-forwarding, please refer to the [port-forwarding]({{ site.baseurl }}/reference/mesheryctl/system/dashboard) guide for detailed instructions.
+2. If you are using a LoadBalancer, please refer to the [LoadBalancer]({{ site.baseurl }}/installation/platforms/kubernetes#exposing-meshery-serviceloadbalancer) guide for detailed instructions.
+3. Customize your Meshery Provider Callback URL. Meshery Server supports customizing authentication flow callback URL, which can be configured in the following way:
+
+{% capture code_content %}$ MESHERY_SERVER_CALLBACK_URL=https://custom-host mesheryctl system start{% endcapture %}
 {% include code.html code=code_content %}
 
-## Install Meshery on your AKS cluster
+### Installation: Using `mesheryctl`
 
-{% capture code_content %}helm repo add meshery https://meshery.io/charts/
-helm install meshery meshery/meshery --namespace meshery --create-namespace{% endcapture %}
+Use Meshery's CLI to streamline your connection to your AKS cluster. Configure Meshery to connect to your AKS cluster by executing:
+
+{% capture code_content %}$ mesheryctl system config aks{% endcapture %}
 {% include code.html code=code_content %}
-<br />
 
-Optionally, Meshery Server supports customizing callback URL for your remote provider, like so:
+Once configured, execute the following command to start Meshery.
 
-{% capture code_content %}helm install meshery meshery/meshery --namespace meshery --set env.MESHERY_SERVER_CALLBACK_URL=https://custom-host --create-namespace{% endcapture %}
+{% capture code_content %}$ mesheryctl system start{% endcapture %}
 {% include code.html code=code_content %}
 
+If you encounter any authentication issues, you can use `mesheryctl system login`. For more information, click [here](/guides/mesheryctl/authenticate-with-meshery-via-cli) to learn more.
+
+### Installation: Using Helm
+
+For detailed instructions on installing Meshery using Helm V3, please refer to the [Helm Installation](/installation/helm) guide.
+
+# Post-Installation Steps
+
 ### Access Meshery UI
 
-Access Meshery UI by exposing it as a Kubernetes service or by port forwarding to Meshery UI.
+To access Meshery's UI, please refer to the [instruction](/reference/mesheryctl/system/dashboard) for detailed guidance.
 
-#### [Optional] Port Forward to Meshery UI
+Note: _You can also verify health of your system using [mesheryctl system check](/reference/mesheryctl/system/check)_
 
-{% capture code_content %}export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace meshery -l "app.kubernetes.io/name=meshery,app.kubernetes.io/instance=meshery" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
-kubectl --namespace meshery port-forward $POD_NAME 9081:8080{% endcapture %}
-{% include code.html code=code_content %}
-<br />
 
-Meshery should now be running in your AKS cluster and the Meshery UI should be accessible at the specified endpoint you've exposed to. Navigate to the `meshery` service endpoint to log into Meshery.
