[Feature] Add support to control 'Boot diagnostics' of VMSS via AKS agent pools
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We at @swisspost miss the feature to directly connect to the AKS workers via serial console (boot diagnostics) in case of an issue.
The AKS agent pool does neither enable boot diagnostics on the Virtual machine scale set
by default nor does it support to configure it inside the Agent Pools.
Describe the solution you'd like The AKS agent pool supports configuration regarding boot diagnostics
