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.
