AKS

Microsoft Azure
Containers
Azure AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) is a fully managed service that enables users to deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications using Kubernetes. It provides a simple and consistent way to deploy, manage, and operate Kubernetes clusters on Azure without requiring deep Kubernetes expertise. AKS provides a high-level of automation, security, and reliability for container orchestration, and includes features such as automatic scaling, rolling upgrades, health monitoring, and self-healing. It integrates with various Azure services, including Azure Container Registry, Azure Monitor, Azure Virtual Network, and Azure Load Balancer, to enable seamless deployment and management of containerized applications on Azure. It also supports various open-source tools and frameworks, such as Helm, Draft, and Brigade, to extend the functionality of Kubernetes clusters. AKS is built on top of the Kubernetes open-source project, and thus provides users with all the features and benefits of Kubernetes, including portability, scalability, and extensibility. It also provides enterprise-grade security and compliance features, such as role-based access control, network security, and compliance certifications (e.g., HIPAA, ISO, and SOC).

  • private_cluster_public_fqdn_enabled - (Optional) Specifies whether a Public FQDN for this Private Cluster should be added. Defaults to false.

Note:

If you use BYO DNS Zone, the AKS cluster should either use a User Assigned Identity or a service principal (which is deprecated) with the Private DNS Zone Contributor role and access to this Private DNS Zone. If UserAssigned identity is used - to prevent improper resource order destruction - the cluster should depend on the role assignment, like in this example:

A network_profile block supports the following:

  • network_plugin - (Required) Network plugin to use for networking. Currently supported values are azure, kubenet and none. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

Note:

When network_plugin is set to azure - the vnet_subnet_id field in the default_node_pool block must be set and pod_cidr must not be set.

  • network_mode - (Optional) Network mode to be used with Azure CNI. Possible values are bridge and transparent. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

Note:

network_mode can only be set to bridge for existing Kubernetes Clusters and cannot be used to provision new Clusters - this will be removed by Azure in the future.

Note:

This property can only be set when network_plugin is set to azure.

Note:

When network_policy is set to azure, the network_plugin field can only be set to azure.

  • dns_service_ip - (Optional) IP address within the Kubernetes service address range that will be used by cluster service discovery (kube-dns). Changing this forces a new resource to be created.
  • docker_bridge_cidr - (Optional) IP address (in CIDR notation) used as the Docker bridge IP address on nodes. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

Note:

docker_bridge_cidr has been deprecated as the API no longer supports it and will be removed in version 4.0 of the provider.

When ebpf_data_plane is set to cilium, one of either network_plugin_mode = "Overlay" or pod_subnet_id must be specified.

Note:

This requires that the Preview Feature Microsoft.ContainerService/CiliumDataplanePreview is enabled and the Resource Provider is re-registered, see the documentation for more information.

  • network_plugin_mode - (Optional) Specifies the network plugin mode used for building the Kubernetes network. Possible value is Overlay. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

Note:

When network_plugin_mode is set to Overlay, the network_plugin field can only be set to azure.

Note:

This requires that the Preview Feature Microsoft.ContainerService/AzureOverlayPreview is enabled and the Resource Provider is re-registered, see the documentation for more information.

  • outbound_type - (Optional) The outbound (egress) routing method which should be used for this Kubernetes Cluster. Possible values are loadBalancer, userDefinedRouting, managedNATGateway and userAssignedNATGateway. Defaults to loadBalancer. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.
  • pod_cidr - (Optional) The CIDR to use for pod IP addresses. This field can only be set when network_plugin is set to kubenet. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.
  • pod_cidrs - (Optional) A list of CIDRs to use for pod IP addresses. For single-stack networking a single IPv4 CIDR is expected. For dual-stack networking an IPv4 and IPv6 CIDR are expected. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.
  • service_cidr - (Optional) The Network Range used by the Kubernetes service. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.
  • service_cidrs - (Optional) A list of CIDRs to use for Kubernetes services. For single-stack networking a single IPv4 CIDR is expected. For dual-stack networking an IPv4 and IPv6 CIDR are expected. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

Note:

This range should not be used by any network element on or connected to this VNet. Service address CIDR must be smaller than /12. docker_bridge_cidr, dns_service_ip and service_cidr should all be empty or all should be set.

Examples of how to use AKS with Advanced Networking can be found in the ./examples/kubernetes/ directory in the GitHub repository.

  • ip_versions - (Optional) Specifies a list of IP versions the Kubernetes Cluster will use to assign IP addresses to its nodes and pods. Possible values are IPv4 and/or IPv6. IPv4 must always be specified. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.

Note:

To configure dual-stack networking ip_versions should be set to ["IPv4", "IPv6"].

Note:

Dual-stack networking requires that the Preview Feature Microsoft.ContainerService/AKS-EnableDualStack is enabled and the Resource Provider is re-registered, see the documentation for more information.

A load_balancer_profile block supports the following:

Note:

The fields managed_outbound_ip_count, outbound_ip_address_ids and outbound_ip_prefix_ids are mutually exclusive. Note that when specifying outbound_ip_address_ids (azurerm_public_ip) the SKU must be standard.

Note:

If specifying ingress_application_gateway in conjunction with only_critical_addons_enabled, the AGIC pod will fail to start. A separate azurerm_kubernetes_cluster_node_pool is required to run the AGIC pod successfully. This is because AGIC is classed as a "non-critical addon".

Associating resources with a
AKS
Resources do not "belong" to a
AKS
Rather, one or more Security Groups are associated to a resource.
Create
AKS
via Terraform:
The following HCL manages a Managed Kubernetes Cluster (also known as AKS / Azure Kubernetes Service)
Syntax:

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "example" {
 name     = "example-resources"
 location = "West Europe"
}

resource "azurerm_kubernetes_cluster" "example" {
 name                = "example-aks1"
 location            = azurerm_resource_group.example.location
 resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
 dns_prefix          = "exampleaks1"

 default_node_pool {
   name       = "default"
   node_count = 1
   vm_size    = "Standard_D2_v2"
 }

 identity {
   type = "SystemAssigned"
 }

 tags = {
   Environment = "Production"
 }
}

output "client_certificate" {
 value     = azurerm_kubernetes_cluster.example.kube_config.0.client_certificate
 sensitive = true
}

output "kube_config" {
 value = azurerm_kubernetes_cluster.example.kube_config_raw
