As discussed in this question, it's best practice to register the services before the actual deployment: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50409392/why-should-i-specify-service-before-deployment-in-a-single-kubernetes-configurat

However in these official Microsoft examples there is a deployment task, that has the order the other way around.

    - task: KubernetesManifest@0
      displayName: Deploy
      inputs:
        action: deploy
        manifests: manifests/deployment.yml|manifests/service.yml

Does it not matter for AKS if service or deployment are executed first?

The official guidelines for docker it's stated that this is relevant..

Does Microsoft AKS handle it differently/better than plain k8s? Are the services automatically registered first, since they can be recognized as such? Else why split it in 2 files if one could not guarantee the order of execution?
