AKS starting status indicator¶
Motivation¶
AKS can report provisioning_state=Starting while power_state=Running during a cluster start. The dashboard treated this as not workload-ready but did not classify it as an in-progress lifecycle state, so the cluster row could show the stopped readiness copy instead of a starting indicator.
User-facing change¶
The dashboard now treats AKS Starting and Stopping provisioning states as transitioning. Cluster rows show the existing animated transition state and status label while Azure is still completing the lifecycle operation.
The dashboard Workload RG picker also keeps AKS-managed MC_... node resource groups disabled and shows a saved custom RG value explicitly instead of letting the browser display the first option as if it were selected.
API / IaC diff summary¶
No API or IaC changes. Frontend AKS status classification now includes Starting and Stopping alongside Creating, Updating, and Deleting. The compact resource picker now renders an explicit custom option when the saved value is not present in the fetched option list, and the dashboard header reuses the AKS-managed RG classifier for Workload RG options.
