AKS Learn feedback: guidance needed on Node Autoprovisioning and Availability Zone support

Feedback

The AKS Node Autoprovisioning documentation needs guidance on how availability zones is (or is not) supported. For example, I created a cluster like so (note the --zones)...

az aks create --name $ClusterName --resource-group $ResourceGroupName --node-provisioning-mode Auto --network-plugin azure --network-plugin-mode overlay --network-dataplane cilium --generate-ssh-keys --zones 1 2 3

When node autoprovisioning began scaling out using the default node pool, it did not do so evenly across availability zones. I ended up with one node in Zone 1, one node in Zone 2, and seven nodes in Zone 3.

I'm expecting the documentation to be able to guide me to set up my cluster so nodes are evenly spread across zones, or call out in the limitations if that isn't supported.
