What is Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager?
Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager (Fleet) enables at-scale management of multiple Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters. Fleet supports the following scenarios:
Create a Fleet resource and join AKS clusters across regions and subscriptions as member clusters.
Orchestrate Kubernetes version upgrades and node image upgrades across multiple clusters by using update runs, stages, and groups.
Automatically trigger version upgrades when new Kubernetes or node image versions are published (preview).
Create Kubernetes resource objects on the Fleet resource's hub cluster and control their propagation to member clusters.
Export and import services between member clusters, and load balance incoming layer-4 traffic across service endpoints on multiple clusters (preview).
