Use when a problem is specific to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS): a cluster or node pool in "Failed" state, an upgrade or scale that fails ("UpgradeFailed", "violate the pod's disruption budget", "QuotaExceeded", "AllocationFailed"), a LoadBalancer Service stuck at <pending> ("SyncLoadBalancerFailed", "AuthorizationFailed"), an Azure Disk or Files PVC that fails ("ProvisioningFailed", "volume node affinity conflict", "Multi-Attach error", "Mount error(13)"), workload identity errors…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# AKS troubleshooting Find out why something that depends on Azure fails in an AKS cluster, and propose a fix. **Read first, ask before changing.** Run the investigation commands freely: kubectl reads and the read-only `az` commands below (`show`, `list`, `get`). Run a command under an "Ask first" line only after the user approves that exact command; if your credentials do not allow it, give it to the user to run. Never run a "Proposed fix"; hand it to the user. Every `az` change (update, upgrade, role assignments, anything that writes) is a proposed fix. An AKS cluster lives in two places. Kubernetes objects are in the cluster; the cluster itself, its **node pools** (virtual machine scale sets), load balancers, public IPs, disks and identities are Azure resources. The cluster resource is in the user's resource group; the resources AKS manages for it are in a separate **node resource group** (by default `MC_<resource group>_<cluster>_<region>`). Many AKS failures show in Kubernetes only as a short event, while the real error is in Azure: in the cluster's `provisioningState`, in the latest operation, or in the activity log. …

How to install
mdr add k8s-servant/k8s-skills/k8s-aks-troubleshooting@sha256:0d610bbd23325fa4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.8d9def9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
