AKS Hyperscale Control Plane Now in Preview

This article covers the new AKS hyperscale control plane preview, which allows users to select a control plane tier (H2, H4, H8) at cluster creation via the --control-plane-scaling-size flag. It explains the performance metrics for each tier, including API server concurrency, pod scheduling rate, and etcd storage, and notes that the feature requires Standard or Premium tier clusters, aks-preview version 21.0.0b8+, Kubernetes 1.33+, and registration of the ControlPlaneScalingProfilePreview feature flag. The article also mentions a preview limit of one hyperscale cluster per subscription per region and provides setup commands.
