We are migrating an enterprise container workload to Azure that requires full Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform support, including the native OpenShift web console and Red Hat Enterprise Linux nodes. A developer recommended creating a standard AKS cluster and installing an OpenShift operator onto the AKS nodes. What is the dedicated managed Red Hat OpenShift service on Azure, and what is the official Azure guide link for creating an Azure Red Hat OpenShift cluster?

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.

| Troubleshooting | L37-L64 | Diagnosing and fixing AKS cluster issues: networking, DNS, upgrades, workloads, GPU/Windows nodes, Fleet, encryption, logs, and add-ons using tools like ACNS, Desktop Insights, and NPD. |
| Best Practices | L65-L115 | Operational best practices for running AKS in production: upgrades, reliability, performance, cost, security, networking, storage, autoscaling, multi-tenancy, and workload isolation. |
| Decision Making | L116-L174 | Guidance for planning and decision-making on AKS: migrations, upgrades, networking, scaling, cost optimization, compliance, OS/VM choices, and comparing AKS with other platforms/services. |
| Architecture & Design Patterns | L175-L203 | Architectural patterns and design choices for AKS and Fleet: HA/DR (active-active/passive-cold), networking/ingress, PCI, GPUs, stateful apps, multi-region, and cross-cluster placement. |
| Limits & Quotas | L204-L230 | AKS limits, SLAs, quotas, version/support policies, networking and outbound requirements, autoscaling and Istio/KEDA constraints, and node/system pool capacity and upgrade behavior |
| Security | L231-L315 | Securing AKS clusters: identity/RBAC, Entra auth, managed identities, network isolation, encryption, CIS hardening, PCI controls, Azure Policy, secure node/ingress access, and key/cert management. |
| Configuration | L316-L481 | Configuring AKS clusters and fleets: networking, storage, GPUs, autoscaling, security, routing/ingress, extensions, databases, monitoring, and node/fleet lifecycle and upgrade settings. |
| Integrations & Coding Patterns | L482-L508 | Patterns and code for integrating AKS with AI toolchains, KAITO, Ray, storage, secrets, observability, autoscaling, dev tools, and external services (MCP, Istio, KEDA, Key Vault, etc.). |
| Deployment | L509-L558 | Deploying and upgrading AKS clusters and apps, including CI/CD, service meshes, autoscaling, storage and networking migrations, AI/ML and Wasm workloads, and cross-cloud app migration. |
