Read through the following considerations prior to deploying Meshery on AKS.

Verify you connection to an Azure Kubernetes Services Cluster using Azure CLI.

After a successful login, identify the subscription associated with your AKS cluster:

` az account set --subscription [SUBSCRIPTION_ID] `

`az aks get-credentials --resource-group [RESOURCE_GROUP] --name [AKS_SERVICE_NAME]`

If you are using port-forwarding, please refer to the port-forwarding guide for detailed instructions.

Customize your Meshery Provider Callback URL. Meshery Server supports customizing authentication flow callback URL, which can be configured in the following way:

`$ MESHERY_SERVER_CALLBACK_URL=https://custom-host mesheryctl system start`

Use Meshery’s CLI to streamline your connection to your AKS cluster. Configure Meshery to connect to your AKS cluster by executing:

`$ mesheryctl system config aks`

Once configured, execute the following command to start Meshery.

`$ mesheryctl system start`
