Introduction

Provisioning an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster with Terraform involves creating infrastructure-as-code (IaC) scripts that define the desired state of the AKS resources, such as virtual machines, load balancers, and networking components.

In this topic, the use of private Terraform modules is explored. Private modules provide a secure way to reuse common infrastructure configurations and reduce the amount of code that needs to be written from scratch. These modules can be stored in a private registry, making them accessible only to authorized users.

To provision an AKS cluster with private Terraform modules, the first step is to define the module sources in the Terraform configuration file. Then, the Terraform code is applied to create the AKS cluster. The private modules provide reusable code that automates the creation of the necessary resources in Azure, including the AKS cluster and supporting infrastructure such as virtual networks, storage accounts, and other Azure resources.

Overall, using private Terraform modules allows for greater efficiency and security in creating and maintaining AKS clusters, particularly in complex or large-scale deployments.
