In Azure kubernetes cluster creation page, we have option to choose either Linux/Windows.
But no option to select ubuntu/centos etc
How to set that?

In the node size, we can select series, where we can select the OS disk size?

    Hello @Uday Kiran Reddy (ureddy) ,
    Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A platform.
    Basically AKS is a managed environment where the nodes used by AKS will have a custom Ubuntu Image which will be created specifically for AKS to ensure the nodes work the way we need them to be in AKS. Hence there is no option to use another OS/Node Image.

    You can try exploring AKS-Engine. (https://github.com/Azure/aks-engine/blob/master/docs/faq.md)

    All about AKS Engine: https://github.com/Azure/aks-engine

    FYI - All AKS Linux worker nodes uses Ubuntu & Windows uses Server 2019 only.
