title: Azure AKS master node architecture
body: <p>We are currently evaluating various Kubernetes aaS providers and Azure AKS was looking like a front runner. However, recently some information has emerged that the master and etcd nodes are not run in a HA configuration?</p>
  
  <p>Is this correct? I find it hard to believe! There is nothing on their website with regard to the architecture of AKS which is always a worry but as they provide the master nodes as a service I don't understand how they would leave such a gaping hole?</p>
  
  <p>Does any one have any more in depth information regarding the AKS architecture?</p>
