 Kubernetes clients are the applications clients, such as operators or monitoring agents, deployed in the Kubernetes cluster that need to communicate with the kube-api server to perform read or mutate operations. It's important to optimize the behavior of these clients to minimize the load they add to the kube-api server and Kubernetes control plane.
 
-AKS doesn't expose control plane and API server metrics via Prometheus or through platform metrics. However, you can analyze API server traffic and client behavior through Kube Audit logs.

 As you scale your AKS clusters to larger scale points, keep the following feature limitations in mind:
 
-* AKS supports scaling up to 5,000 nodes by default for all Standard Tier / LTS clusters. AKS scales your cluster's control plane at runtime based on cluster size and API server resource utilization.
