During the extension installation, it also creates a User-assigned Managed Identity (Extension Identity) in the Node Pool resource group.

>Both of these core components are deployed with aggressive hard limits on CPU and memory, with CPU *less than 0.5% of a core* and memory limit ranging from *50-200 MB*. So, the *COGS impact* of these components is very low. Because they are core platform components, there is no workaround available to remove them once installed in the cluster.

Many Azure services depend on *clusterAdmin kubeconfig* and the *publicly accessible kube-apiserver endpoint* to access AKS clusters. The **AKS Trusted Access** feature enables you to bypass the private endpoint restriction. Without using Microsoft Entra application, this feature enables you to give explicit consent to your system-assigned identity of allowed resources to access your AKS clusters using an Azure resource RoleBinding. The Trusted Access feature allows you to access AKS clusters with different configurations, which aren't limited to private clusters, clusters with local accounts disabled, Microsoft Entra ID clusters, and authorized IP range clusters.
