|**Cluster architecture:** Utilize AKS cluster pre-set configurations. | It can be difficult choosing the right VM instance, region, number of nodes, availability zones, etc. when trying to strike a balance between cost and resource requirements. From the Azure portal, the **cluster preset configurations** option helps offload this initial challenge by providing a set of recommended configurations that are cost-conscious and performant regardless of environment. Mission critical applications may require more sophisticated VM instances, while small development and test clusters may benefit from the lighter-weight, pre-set options where availability, Azure Monitor, Azure Policy, and other features are turned off by default. The **Dev/Test** and **Cost-optimized** pre-sets help remove unnecessary added costs.|
