AKS enabled by Arc deployments have been validated with the following configurations, including the specified maximums. Keep in mind that exceeding these maximums is at your own risk and might lead to unexpected behaviors and failures. This article provides some guidance on how to avoid common configuration mistakes and can help you create a larger configuration. If in doubt, contact your local Microsoft office for assistance or [submit a question to the community](https://feedback.azure.com/d365community/search/?q=Azure+Kubernetes).

- To run 200 worker nodes in one target cluster, you can use the default control plane and load balancer size. Depending on the number of pods per node, you can go up at least one size on the control plane and use **Standard_D8s_v3**.

- Depending on the number of Kubernetes services hosted in each target cluster, you might have to increase the size of the load balancer VM as well at target cluster creation to ensure that services can be reached with high performance and traffic is routed accordingly.
