Module 7.5: Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager & Multi-Cluster Operations

AKS Deep Dive | Complexity: [ADVANCED] | Time: 2.5h | NEW — pipeline will expand this stub

Topic: Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager for centralized multi-cluster AKS operations. Hub-and-spoke topology, cluster registration, fleet-level workload placement, coordinated multi-cluster upgrades, Azure Policy at scale across fleet members, cross-region deployment patterns for high availability and disaster recovery. Integrates with Azure Arc for hybrid and edge AKS clusters, GitOps with Flux extension, and Azure Monitor workspace federation for multi-cluster observability. Covers when to adopt Fleet Manager vs single-cluster patterns, fleet update orchestration strategies (update runs, stages, groups), and workload propagation via ClusterResourcePlacement CRDs. Closes the multi-cluster gap in the AKS deep dive by matching GKE Fleet Management (module 6.5) and providing AKS-native alternatives to EKS cross-cluster patterns.
