AKS node pool user start/stop feature
The AKS node pool start/stop feature allows you to completely stop specific user node pools and pick up later where you left off with a switch of a button, saving time and costs.
Previously, you had to either scale a user node pool and all its workloads down to zero to save costs or keep it running with a low footprint to avoid re-deployment, adding to operations time, or wasting compute resources.
The start/stop feature keeps user node pool configurations in place, like the previous node count, allowing you to pick up where you left off without reconfiguring the node pools.

Adjust carriers for shipments based on delivery conditions
