Create a Kubernetes cluster with Azure AKS using Terraform
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a highly available, secure, and fully managed Kubernetes service of Microsoft Azure. The fully managed Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) makes deploying and managing containerized applications easy. It offers serverless Kubernetes, an integrated continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) experience, and enterprise-grade security and governance. Unite your development and operations teams on a single platform to rapidly build, deliver, and scale applications with confidence.
Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions.
Admitting, there are number of Cloud provisioning IaC tools, each with its own implementation. With the object of this lab, We will focus exclusively on deploying AKS cluster on Azure.
Using the Azure Portal you can create a cluster with few clicks. However, it usually a better idea to keep the configuration for your cluster under version control. Assuming you accidentally delete your cluster or decide to provision a copy in another region, you can easily replicate the same configuration. And if you’re working as part of a team, source control gives you peace of mind. You know precisely why changes occurred and who made them.
