Same issue here with VS Enterprise 15.8.1.
I've published the projects to the Azure Container Registry but the "Add Azure AKS" option on the Solution content menu isn't showing up.
I've even tried with a new solution with the "Container Application for Kubernetes" project template.
Maybe we're just missing something and the docs aren't specific enough regarding when this option shows up.

Still missing. Any updates on this?

We checked with the engineers who own this feature. This menu item should appear if you install the AKS Publishing Tools VSIX (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Azure.Tools.vsix) and run through the configuration steps documented in the linked articles under the "If you wish to publish to AKS from Visual Studio" heading. This includes the CLI commands to ensure connection to the cluster such as "az aks get-credentials …", kubectl installed, helm installed, and helm initialized with "helm init". I just tried this on a recent VS 15.9 preview build, and was able to see this - in a new Container Application for Kubernetes project.

Thank you, I think what you have described solved the problem on this.

Not seeing it in VS v15.8.5 ... followed the steps and installed prerequisites from here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/deployment/tutorial-kubernetes-tools?view=vs-2017#prerequisities

Have you setup the Azure cli, helm & installed both of the Kubernetes extensions (there's one specifically for publishing)?

Pretty sure I missed installing the Tiller part. Will go through that once I work through another issue I'm having publishing to my azure container service - commented on that separate issue here https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/visualstudio-docs/issues/1311

After installing helm with chocolatey, it shows up. Previously I just d/l the binary to a folder on my computer and ran helm init with it.

@ghogen Should we update the article with the info you added in the comment?

I believe we can safely close this, as the article references the steps required to get this working.
