 Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a fully managed Kubernetes platform that simplifies how organizations deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications in the cloud. As customer needs evolve to span cloud, on-premises, and edge environments, AKS expands its footprint and brings the same trusted Kubernetes capabilities to a broader range of edge and on-premises infrastructure.
 
-With solutions like AKS on Azure Local, enabled by Azure Arc, organizations can now run AKS clusters closer to where their workloads and data reside whether in remote edge sites or within their own datacenters, while maintaining a consistent operational and developer experience. While AKS is delivered differently across environments, the underlying platform stays aligned in its goals, behavior, and experience.

 The focus is on delivering a cohesive and adaptable AKS offering that meets customers across cloud and edge, while preserving the simplicity and power that define the AKS experience.
