 This article discusses how to troubleshoot a service principal that isn't found or is invalid when you try to create a Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster.
 
+## Prerequisites
+
+Use Azure CLI version 2.0.81 or later for running the commands in this article.
+
 ## Cause
 
-When you create an AKS cluster, AKS requires a service principal or managed identity to manage resources on your behalf. By default, AKS uses a System-assigned managed identity. If you prefer to use a service principal instead, be aware that AKS does not automatically create one for you. You’ll have to provide your own service principal and reference it during cluster creation by [these instructions](/azure/aks/kubernetes-service-principal).

If you prefer to use a service principal instead, be aware that AKS does not automatically create one for you. You'll have to provide your own service principal and reference it during cluster creation. For more information, see [Use a service principal with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)](/azure/aks/kubernetes-service-principal?tabs=azure-cli). 
+
+Although service principals are supported for AKS authentication, we recommend using a system-assigned managed identity. This identity can simplify credential management and is the default option for new clusters.
 
 Additionally, when you create a service principal, make sure that it's propagated across all regions by Microsoft Entra ID. If this propagation takes too long, the cluster might fail validation because AKS can't locate the service principal.
 
 ## Solution
 
 Make sure that there's a valid, findable service principal. To do this, use one of the following methods:
 
-- When you create an AKS cluster, consider using an existing service principal that has already propagated across regions. Although there’s no direct way to verify the propagation status, you can verify functionality by using a previously deployed service principal. Alternatively, if you're using a new principal, allow 5-10 minutes for the principal to propagate before you start the cluster creation.

+- To verify that the service principal is ready, execute the `az ad sp show --id <appId>` command and check the output before proceeding with the creation of the AKS cluster.
 
 - If you use automation scripts, add time delays between service principal creation and AKS cluster creation. We recommend a delay of 5 to 10 minutes.
