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), use az aks get-credentials + kubelogin; kube_config_raw will be empty.
  • acr_pull_registry_ids is 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_id for CMK encryption (immutable after creation). Per-pool host_encryption_enabled additionally encrypts temp disks/caches at the host but needs the Microsoft.Compute/EncryptionAtHost subscription feature registered first.
