You can check your configuration by running the following command:

```bash
az aks show --query 'networkProfile'

:::warning

If you create your cluster with `--network-policy calico`, AKS installs its own Calico and keeps managing it after you connect the cluster to $[prodname].
AKS updates can then change $[prodname] resources without warning.
