The front matter author: Kaarthis doesn't match any key in blog/_data/authors.yml. Because the author include looks up site.data.authors[author_name] and then renders author.name, a missing key can result in a blank/incorrect author profile. Update author to an existing author key (for example, "Kaarthikeyan Subramanian") or add a matching entry to blog/_data/authors.yml.

| az aks create \ | ||
| --resource-group myResourceGroup \ | ||
| --name myAKSLTSCluster \ | ||
| --tier LTS \ | ||
| --kubernetes-version 1.29 \ | ||
| --node-count 3 | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| You can also deploy AKS clusters with LTS support using: | ||
| - **Azure Portal:** Select "Long Term Support" option during cluster creation | ||
| - **ARM Templates/Bicep:** Specify the LTS tier in your infrastructure-as-code deployments | ||
| - **Terraform:** Updated AKS provider supports LTS cluster configuration | ||
|
|
||
| **Important:** AKS LTS is available as part of the **Premium tier**. For detailed pricing information, please refer to the [AKS Premium tier pricing](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/kubernetes-service/). |

The "Getting Started" section is internally inconsistent about how LTS is enabled: the CLI example uses --tier LTS and the bullets refer to an "LTS tier", but a few lines later the post says LTS is available as part of the Premium tier. Please align the terminology and the example command with the actual AKS knobs (Premium tier vs LTS support plan/version selection) so readers don't run an invalid az aks create command.

The PR description mentions a "1.35 rollout notice and 1.32 deprecation notice", but the only change shown here is adding a long-form AKS LTS announcement blog post. Please update the PR description (or split the PR) so it accurately reflects the content being merged, which helps reviewers and release notes stay correct.
1.35 rollout notice and 1.32 deprecation notice.
