The Azure Provider for Terraform, which enables us to manage Azure resources using Terraform setup files, includes the “azurerm_kubernetes_cluster” resource. It offers the setup choices needed to set up and keep AKS clusters, and it represents an AKS cluster.

For instance, the below code explains how to define the Terraform resource:

Here, the resource is defined with the name “example”. It details the resource group and location where the AKS cluster is to be created. Using the “dns_prefix” option, we can set the cluster’s FQDN’s DNS prefix. The “kubernetes_version” defines the version of Kubernetes.

Additionally, it also creates a default node pool that contains the setup details for the cluster’s first node pool. The “Standard_DS2_v2” VM size builds three nodes in this example, which are then distributed over three availability zones. Depending on the needs, we can further alter the setup by setting up other node pools, creating network policies, enabling autoscaling, and more. So, to use Azure, confirm that the Azure Provider is set up in the Terraform config and that the needed details are set up.

The arguments listed below are verified:

1. This offers the name of the Cluster to create. We can create a new resource by changing it: name

2. The location where new Cluster creation takes place: location

3. Defines the Resource Group where the Cluster must belong. We can change to create a new resource: resource_group_name

4. Defines a default_node_pool block: default_node_pool

5. DNS prefix specified when creating the managed cluster. We can change this in order to create a new resource: dns_prefix

Conclusion

To sum up, when setting up and maintaining Kubernetes clusters on the Azure cloud platform, ARM templates use the resource type azurerm_kubernetes_cluster.
