AKS supports both manual node scaling and automatic node scaling. When the Cluster Autoscaler is enabled, AKS automatically adds or removes nodes based on unscheduled pods, within the minimum and maximum node counts you configure. The Horizontal Pod Autoscaler affects pod replicas, not node count, and manual scaling can be performed at any time with commands such as "az aks scale" without recreating the cluster.
