Generally Available: Smart VM defaults in AKS

Smart VM defaults are now generally available in AKS. Smart VM defaults automatically select the optimal default VM SKU based on available capacity and quota. This feature ensures that deployments are matched with the best possible SKU, enhancing performance and reliability while optimizing resource utilization. Previously, the default AKS VM SKU was typically Standard_DS2_V2, but now you can expect dynamic outcomes in default provisioning based on SKU availability.
