Deploy an AKS Cluster

The repository AKS folder contains a Terraform plan that deploys a Kubernetes cluster in Microsoft's Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). This cluster meets the minimum requirements to support a CN-Series firewall and can span multiple availability zones for maximum redundancy and scalability.

Log into Azure using its CLI interface.
$ az login
Create a
terraform.tfvars
file and add the following variables and their associated values.
location = ""                  # The Azure region
ssh_key  = ""                  # The contents of your SSH public key
Initialize the Terraform providers.
terraform init
Validate the Terraform plan.
terraform plan
Apply the Terraform plan.
$ terraform apply
Update the kubeconfig file with the new cluster's information.
Enter this command as a single line:
$ az aks get-credentials --name $(terraform output az_cluster_name)
  --resource-group $(terraform output az_resource_group)
Verify the cluster nodes have been built and are in a Ready status.
$ kubectl get nodes
NAME                              STATUS   ROLES   AGE   VERSION
aks-default-50806154-vmss000000   Ready    agent   22m   v1.14.8
aks-default-50806154-vmss000001   Ready    agent   22m   v1.14.8
You can now Deploy a Sample Application or Deploy a CN-Series Firewall Using Terraform.
