Container Network Insight Agent for AKS is Now in Public Preview

This article covers the public preview of Microsoft's Container Network Insight Agent for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). It is an AI-powered network diagnostics assistant that runs as a pod inside an AKS cluster. Users can describe networking problems in plain English, and the agent collects evidence using kubectl, Cilium, and Hubble, returning structured reports with root cause analysis and remediation commands. It covers DNS troubleshooting, packet drop analysis, and Kubernetes networking diagnostics. The agent is read-only and advisory, requiring specific prerequisites. It is a cloud-only AKS feature, not available on hybrid or Arc-enabled clusters.
