What are Kubernetes Extensions?

Kubernetes extensions (or cluster extensions) are pre-packaged applications that simplify the installation and lifecycle management of Azure capabilities on Kubernetes clusters. Examples include Azure Backup, GitOps (Flux), and Azure Machine Learning. Third-party extensions (or Kubernetes apps), such as Datadog AKS Cluster Extension and Isovalent Cilium Enterprise, are also available in the Azure Marketplace.
