  title: Azure Kubernetes Service REST API
  description: >-
    REST API for managing Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) resources including
    managed clusters, agent pools, maintenance configurations, snapshots,
    private endpoint connections, and trusted access role bindings. AKS
    simplifies deploying a managed Kubernetes cluster in Azure by offloading
    operational overhead such as health monitoring and maintenance.
