There are definitely growing pains with using Kubernetes on Azure. I've wondered a few times if other platforms have similar issues and have seen more than a few complaints about EKS.

Microsoft has some great people working on Azure, but I do feel like AKS was released to GA too soon. Without a published roadmap and scant acknowledgment of issues, I'm not sure I could recommend it to my clients or employer. It's disappointing, because I've had few issues with other Azure services.

Full disclosure: I receive a monthly credit through a Microsoft program for Azure.
