Generally Available: Disable HTTP proxy in AKS

Organizations that use HTTP proxies to control outbound traffic often need to change or remove those settings as network requirements evolve, which can be disruptive in running clusters. Azure Kubernetes Service allows administrators to disable HTTP proxy variables for nodes and pods while retaining proxy configuration in the control plane, with changes triggering node pool reimaging to ensure a consistent cluster state. This gives operators clearer control over outbound networking behavior and simplifies ongoing maintenance without requiring full cluster rebuilds.
