Cloud provider for Azure

Introduction

This repository provides the Azure implementation of the Kubernetes cloud provider interface.

This is the "external" or "out-of-tree" cloud provider for Azure. The "in-tree" cloud provider has been deprecated since v1.20 and only bug fixes are allowed in its Kubernetes repository directory.

Current status

cloud-provider-azure has been GA since v1.0.0. Releases are available from the Microsoft Container Registry (MCR).

The latest release of azure-cloud-controller-manager and azure-cloud-node-manager can be found at
