  - If only AZURE_AKS_CLUSTER_MINIMUM_VERSION is set, this value will be used.
  - The default will be used neither options are configured.
  - If Azure_AKSMinimumVersion is set a warning will be generated until the configuration is removed.
  - Support for Azure_AKSMinimumVersion is deprecated and will be removed in v2.
