Request: Azure Kubernetes Service

[ace03uec]

It's great to have K8s version EOL dates, EOL dates across managed K8s offerings across Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Azure Kubernetes Service(AKS), GKE(Google Kubernetes Engine) are different. It would be great to add these as services as well

[ace03uec]

Would be raising a PR on this.

@ace03uec Any update?

EKS has a nice table with clear release and EoL dates https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/kubernetes-versions.html#kubernetes-release-calendar

AKS has a bad table at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/supported-kubernetes-versions#aks-kubernetes-release-calendar (Bad because dates EoL dates are relative to prior releases)

GKE has 3 release channels with their own release schedule in a nice table but no table for EoL dates, just a 14 month promise:

Google provides a total of 14 months of support for each GKE minor version once the version has been made available in the Regular channel. After 12 months, a supported version will enter a 2-month maintenance period before reaching end of life.

The k8s version skew challenges apply to all three.

AKS is still pending.

If you'd like to work on this:

• We already have pages on GKE and EKS that you can use as a reference. A PR for AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) is what we still need.
• AKS has a bad table at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/supported-kubernetes-versions#aks-kubernetes-release-calendar (Bad because dates EoL dates are relative to prior releases)
• You can see the GKE or EKS PRs for past reference. The GKE one is a bit complicated, since it involves automation, but you can ignore that.

Make sure you read through CONTRIBUTING.md to understand the file structure, and go through a few of previously merged PRs with the label new-product. Also, please read through the Guiding Principles to make sure your writing style and content is good enough and matches the rest of the site. Reading these will help you get onboarded faster and make sure that your PR sees a speedy merge.

And finally, we have a very helpful guide for new contributors during Hacktoberfest as well.

Renamed this to AKS, which is the only pending request left from this issue.
