Lookup documented AKS fixes only when the prompt includes an exact catalog signature and all of its qualifiers: VMCannotFitEphemeralOSDisk; NodePoolMcVersionIncompatible; 'NodeImageVersion is not accepted'; AKS SkuNotAvailable with size, location, and zone; ZonalAllocationFailed with insufficient zone capacity; OverconstrainedAllocationRequest with listed constraints; nested AKS vmssCSE/CSE VMExtensionError_OutboundConnFail, VMExtensionError_K8SAPIServerConnFail, or…

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 Known Issues

## Quick Reference

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Best for | Exact signature plus AKS operation |
| Output | Cause, fix, and Learn citation |

Use the [catalog](references/error-code-map.md).

## When to Use This Skill

Named catalog signatures only. Generic AKS → `aks-troubleshooting`; non-AKS →
no AKS skill.

If every qualifier for a catalog row is not present, do not use this skill.
This catalog has no quota-error rows; route AKS quota incidents to
`aks-troubleshooting`.

## MCP Tools

None required. Use advertised read-only Azure tools or CLI queries.

## Workflow

1. Capture exact code, nested message, operation, and AKS resource.
2. Require every qualifier; codes are not substrings.
3. Give cause, fix, citation, and read-only verification.
4. State what ran; require explicit approval before every mutation.

## Error Handling

| Input | Response |
|---|---|
| Bare wrapper/number | Request nested signature and CSE context |
| Generic AKS | `aks-troubleshooting` |
| Non-AKS | No AKS skill |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/aks-known-issues@sha256:e730df643bbd8e39

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.0.0-placeholder, 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.
