<p>As I understood from the documentation , if you use azure portal to create AKS cluster , you can't use the basic load balancer ,which is free in my current subscription. So how can I then use the basic load balancer with aks.</p>

<p>You must use the CLI to create an AKS with a Basic load balancer.</p>
<pre><code>az aks create -g MyRG -n MyCluster --load-balancer-sku basic
</code></pre>
<p>It's clearly stated in the infobox in the Portal.</p>
