Aeraki is most commonly pronounced "air rah kee" (/ɛˈrɑːki/). This pronunciation is documented by the project itself (see GitHub README — aeraki-mesh/aeraki ("Aeraki [Air-rah-ki] is the Greek word for 'breeze'")).
Aeraki Mesh is a CNCF sandbox project that manages non-HTTP layer-7 protocols such as Dubbo, Thrift and Redis in an Istio service mesh. The maintainers spell the pronunciation out in the README: Aeraki [Air-rah-ki] is the Greek word for breeze, with the stress on the second syllable. The ae- digraph misleads English readers into air-uh-kye or ay-RAY-kee.

Pronouncing project and product names correctly avoids the small but persistent friction of being gently corrected during standups, conference Q&As, and team calls. Hearing the word a few times locks in the right reading better than reading IPA ever will. Pronounce is a community-maintained dictionary — every entry tagged with a confidence level and (where possible) a citable source.
