Learn how to use Terraform to manage a highly-available Azure AKS Kubernetes cluster with Azure AD integration and Calico network policies enabled.

What is Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a managed Kubernetes offering in Azure which lets you quickly deploy a production ready Kubernetes cluster. It allows customers to focus on application development and deployment, rather than the nitty gritties of Kubernetes cluster management. The cluster control plane is deployed and managed by Microsoft while the node and node pools where the applications are deployed, are handled by the customer.

The AKS cluster deployment can be fully automated using Terraform. Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It also supports advanced AKS configurations, such as availability zones, Azure AD integration, and network policies for Kubernetes.
