Hi

A unknown Resources Group has been added to our Azure tenant.

The naming does not follow our normal pattern.
It has a "Managed By" link but it goes to a Azure "An unknown error occurred." page.

The Resource group has a public IP and kubernetes load balancer.

Logs says it was made by AzureContainerService

The public IP of the group resource goes to a Azure site saying there is no content.

How can I find out more about who/what made this resource group?

Azure Kubernetes Service
Azure Kubernetes Service

An Azure service that provides serverless Kubernetes, an integrated continuous integration and continuous delivery experience, and enterprise-grade security and governance.

    Hi John,

    This "extra resource group" is normal for Azure Kubernetes Service as well as some other Azure services. It is for infrastructure resources that are automatically managed by the service.

    With AKS, you have one resource group for the AKS resource and a second, automatically-created resource group that contains all the cluster resources like VMs, disks, vnet, load balancer, NSG, etc. This second resource group has an automatic naming convention similar to MC_group_cluster_region. You have the option to specify a custom name.

    Please see FAQ below:
