Hi!

In this article, I will show you how you can replace the Message of the Day on Linux nodes at cluster creation or node pool creation. When you first log in to a terminal on a Unix system, Linux included, you are usually greeted by that system’s message of the day(MOTD). The message of the day, gives you important information about the system or just messages from the system admin.

Cluster creation with a custom Message of the Day:

az aks create --cluster-name myAKSCluster --resource-group myResourceGroup --message-of-the-day ./newMOTD.txt

Nodepool creation with a custom Message of the Day:

az aks nodepool add --name mynodepool1 --cluster-name myAKSCluster --resource-group myResourceGroup --message-of-the-day ./newMOTD.txt
