Verification
Live-testedReally deployed to a cloud sandbox, verified against its outputs and assertions, then destroyed - with the teardown confirmed.

Documentation
azure-aks
Hardened AKS cluster with system/user node pools, workload identity, Entra
RBAC integration, Azure CNI overlay, and Container Insights wired in. Works
with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), AzureRM provider >= 4.0, < 5.0.
Secure defaults:
- Entra ID RBAC with Azure RBAC authorization; local accounts disabled
- Workload identity + OIDC issuer enabled (no node-level credentials for pods)
- User-assigned control-plane identity (role assignments before cluster create)
- Azure CNI overlay networking with Azure network policy (Cilium optional)
- System pool tainted
CriticalAddonsOnly— workloads go to user pools - No public IPs on nodes; Standard tier (uptime SLA); Azure Policy add-on on
- Container Insights + Key Vault secrets CSI driver (with rotation) enabled
Requirements
- Terraform or OpenTofu
>= 1.6 hashicorp/azurerm>= 4.0, < 5.0- Subscription vCPU quota for the chosen VM sizes; expect 15–25 min apply/destroy
Notes for integrators:
- With
local_account_disabled = true(default), useaz aks get-credentials+kubelogin;kube_config_rawwill be empty. acr_pull_registry_idsis a map with static keys so registry IDs may be unknown at plan time.- When deploying into an existing subnet (
default_node_pool.vnet_subnet_id), the module grants the control-plane identity Network Contributor on it. - Node disks use Azure platform-managed encryption at rest by default; pass
disk_encryption_set_idfor CMK encryption (immutable after creation). Per-poolhost_encryption_enabledadditionally encrypts temp disks/caches at the host but needs theMicrosoft.Compute/EncryptionAtHostsubscription feature registered first.

ansible-kubelogin
kubelogin on EL 10 from the GitHub release, get_url refuses it unless its SHA-256 is the vendor's per-file .sha256, and the live test re-checks it, then converts an azure auth-provider kubeconfig into an exec block and runs get-token until it needs the Azure CLI. Pinned. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.
upcloud-kubernetes
An UpCloud Managed Kubernetes cluster whose API answers only the ranges you list (0.0.0.0/0 by name), with private node groups off the public internet, node storage encrypted at rest (unencrypted by name), anti-affinity across hosts, manual upgrades, and node groups from a map with labels and taints. The plan is the control plane's redundancy and bill.
