properties.aadProfile

ManagedClusterAADProfile

AADProfile specifies attributes for Azure Active Directory integration.
The Azure Active Directory configuration.
properties.addonProfiles

<string,  ManagedClusterAddonProfile>

The profile of managed cluster add-on.
properties.agentPoolProfiles

ManagedClusterAgentPoolProfile[]

The agent pool properties.
properties.apiServerAccessProfile

ManagedClusterAPIServerAccessProfile

The access profile for managed cluster API server.
properties.autoScalerProfile

AutoScalerProfile

Parameters to be applied to the cluster-autoscaler when enabled
properties.autoUpgradeProfile

ManagedClusterAutoUpgradeProfile

The auto upgrade configuration.
properties.azureMonitorProfile

ManagedClusterAzureMonitorProfile

Azure Monitor addon profiles for monitoring the managed cluster.
properties.disableLocalAccounts

boolean

If local accounts should be disabled on the Managed Cluster.
If set to true, getting static credentials will be disabled for this cluster. This must only be used on Managed Clusters that are AAD enabled. For more details see disable local accounts.
properties.diskEncryptionSetID

string

The Resource ID of the disk encryption set to use for enabling encryption at rest.
This is of the form: '/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/diskEncryptionSets/{encryptionSetName}'
properties.dnsPrefix

string

The DNS prefix of the Managed Cluster.
This cannot be updated once the Managed Cluster has been created.
properties.enablePodSecurityPolicy

boolean

(DEPRECATED) Whether to enable Kubernetes pod security policy (preview). PodSecurityPolicy was deprecated in Kubernetes v1.21, and removed from Kubernetes in v1.25. Learn more at https://aka.ms/k8s/psp and https://aka.ms/aks/psp.
properties.enableRBAC

boolean

Whether to enable Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control.
properties.fqdnSubdomain

string

The FQDN subdomain of the private cluster with custom private dns zone.
This cannot be updated once the Managed Cluster has been created.
properties.httpProxyConfig

ManagedClusterHTTPProxyConfig

Configurations for provisioning the cluster with HTTP proxy servers.
properties.identityProfile

<string,  UserAssignedIdentity>

Identities associated with the cluster.
properties.kubernetesVersion

string

The version of Kubernetes specified by the user.
Both patch version <major.minor.patch> (e.g. 1.20.13) and <major.minor> (e.g. 1.20) are supported. When <major.minor> is specified, the latest supported GA patch version is chosen automatically. Updating the cluster with the same <major.minor> once it has been created (e.g. 1.14.x -> 1.14) will not trigger an upgrade, even if a newer patch version is available. When you upgrade a supported AKS cluster, Kubernetes minor versions cannot be skipped. All upgrades must be performed sequentially by major version number. For example, upgrades between 1.14.x -> 1.15.x or 1.15.x -> 1.16.x are allowed, however 1.14.x -> 1.16.x is not allowed. See upgrading an AKS cluster for more details.
