"Changing property 'imageReference' is not allowed" error message while upgrading or scaling an AKS cluster

Symptoms

When you try to upgrade or scale a Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster, you might receive the "Changing property 'imageReference' is not allowed" error message.

Cause

Unexpected results might occur if you modify or delete tags and other properties of resources within the MC_* resource group. Also, altering the resources within the MC_* group in the AKS cluster will break the service-level objective (SLO).

Solution

Add another node pool, and then delete the affected node pool.
