v0.2.4

This is a release with few changes from the user perspective as it mostly includes some improvements in the documentation and CI.

The most important change is that we are now using the InnovationEngine to validate the code blocks present in the README file. This will help us to ensure that the documentation is always up to date and that the code blocks are working as expected. The same strategy will be applied to the rest of the documentation in the future. Thanks to @mqasimsarfraz for this contribution and to @vmarcella and @mbifeld for the support in this task.

Installation

You can install kubectl-aks by downloading the asset for a given release and platform from the releases page on GitHub. Alternatively, you can build kubectl-aks from source by cloning the repository and running the make install command.

Usage

To use this plugin, run the kubectl aks command followed by the desired subcommand. The available subcommands are check-apiserver-connectivity, completion, config, help, run-command, and version.
