1. How to find AKS pod's outbound IP for external DB?

    TypeScript

    To find the outbound IP address for AKS pods, the preferred method would be to use a NAT Gateway or an Azure Firewall. These two are high-level components that abstract the management of public IPs for outbound connections.

    Here's a program to create an AKS cluster and an Azure Firewall. The pods in the AKS cluster would use the public IP of Azure Firewall as the outbound IP.

    import * as azure from "@pulumi/azure"; import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi"; import * as azuread from "@pulumi/azuread"; // Create an Azure Resource Group const resourceGroup = new azure.core.ResourceGroup("example-rg", { location: azure.Locations.WestEurope, }); // Create an Azure Active Directory Service Principal const adApp = new azuread.Application("example-adapp"); const adSp = new azuread.ServicePrincipal("example-sp", { applicationId: adApp.applicationId }); const adSpPassword = new azuread.ServicePrincipalPassword("example-sp-password", { servicePrincipalId: adSp.id, value: "abc123PASSWORD", endDate: "2023-01-01T00:00:00Z", }); // Set up networking const virtualNetwork = new azure.network.VirtualNetwork("example-vnet", { resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name, addressSpaces: ["10.0.0.0/16"], }); // Create Subnet for AKS const subnetAKS = new azure.network.Subnet("example-subnetaks", { resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name, virtualNetworkName: virtualNetwork.name, addressPrefix: "10.0.1.0/24", serviceEndpoints: ["Microsoft.Sql"], }); // Create Subnet for Azure Firewall const subnetFirewall = new azure.network.Subnet("example-subnetfw", { resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name, virtualNetworkName: virtualNetwork.name, addressPrefix: "10.0.2.0/24", serviceEndpoints: ["Microsoft.Sql"], }); // Pulumi will automatically manage Azure Firewall public IP for us const publicIPForFirewall = new azure.network.PublicIp("firewall-public-ip", { resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name, allocationMethod: "Static", sku: "Standard", }); // Azure Firewall to abstract outbound IP const azureFirewall = new azure.network.AzureFirewall("example-azfw", { resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name, location: resourceGroup.location, ipConfiguration: { name: "example-fwconfig", subnetId: subnetFirewall.id, publicIpAddressId: publicIPForFirewall.id, }, }); // Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster const cluster = new azure.containerservice.KubernetesCluster("example-aks", { resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name, location: resourceGroup.location, dnsPrefix: `${pulumi.getStack()}-kube`, defaultNodePool: { name: "default", nodeCount: 1, vmSize: "Standard_D2_v2", }, servicePrincipal: { clientId: adApp.applicationId, clientSecret: adSpPassword.value, }, networkProfile: { networkPlugin: "azure", outboundType: "userDefinedRouting", serviceCidr: "10.10.0.0/16", dnsServiceIp: "10.10.0.10", dockerBridgeCidr: "172.17.0.1/16", }, }); // Export the AKS cluster kubeconfig & the public IP of the Firewall to access the AKS cluster export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeConfigRaw; export const firewallPublicIp = publicIPForFirewall.ipAddress;

    Note that the outbound connections from the AKS cluster now use the IP Address of the Azure Firewall, which can be accessed using firewallPublicIp.
